Windows permits only Store apps: check S mode before changing it

Confirm whether the computer is in S mode. Switching out is a one-way change, so first decide whether an approved Store app meets the need.

By RJ Computers

Quick answer

Confirm whether the computer is in S mode. Switching out is a one-way change, so first decide whether an approved Store app meets the need.

Understand the issue

Verify the blocked application's real source and purpose. A device provided by an employer or school may have restrictions that should remain under their control. Do not pay an unfamiliar site or install an unlock utility to bypass the restriction.

Step-by-step checks

  1. Check the Windows edition and S mode status.
  2. Review whether the required task has an approved Store solution.
  3. If authorized, follow Microsoft's own switching workflow after understanding the change.
