How To Get Out Of Windows 11 S Mode To Install Apps Outside of Microsoft Store

hey everyone Eric here from mathix back out I got you another video today um this is actually about Windows 11 and S Mode we're going to show you how to to get out of it you're probably wondering well what is it why do I even want to get out of it well let's go ahead and actually get right into it so we have here we're just going to go pretty much just like a new laptop right um just brought it home so we're gonna just go to Google and we want to just put on like Chrome or something right so let's go ahead see if we can download some Chrome let's play cyberpunk we're not downloading Chrome you know we're actually going to go ahead and see if we can download some Chrome so go here and and it says to finish installing Chrome you switch out best mode now we also have a printer that's giving us the same problem too because we're actually trying to install one of our clients does have a printer that they actually want to go ahead and install it too it's going to give a problem as well because they're exe files so what what's going on here and well actually Chrome's the one that's going to give you all the information here it's telling you to be installed you need to switch out of S Mode like well what's that what why is that what am I what's going on I just bought a computer why do I get switch out with something else what's what's going on with it so what you want to do you want to go to your search here and you want to hit activation oops of the action not the action so and you'll see something called activation settings here you go there and you'll see that this is Windows 11 it says an S Mode and S Mode what does it say here S Mode allows verify microstore apps for security speed and simplicity so it pretty much locks you into the store downloading all the apps just to go to the Microsoft store which is down here if you actually see it and that's usually the icon that you just come up or you can search it for Microsoft Store app so if you want to download and do anything on this computer you have to use Bing Edge or anything else that you want to do through Microsoft you got to use all the Microsoft apps or if it's available in the store you gotta go to the store we want to switch out that because we don't want that we want to actually be able to use our computer um in a way where we can download more stuff now S Mode is good because it does especially if it's more for like kids or for for people that you want to make sure or maybe or people who aren't super tech savvy because it's going to help prevent viruses right or extra things from I'm going to say really necessarily prevent viruses but it does help lock it down better so you're not downloading things on external sources and it's just going to lock down the computer but better so it's a little bit more safer in that way so we're going to go ahead and open to the store here now it's gonna it's gonna prompt you right there it doesn't make me want to think twice blah blah blah it's going to give you a warning we don't really care about the warning because we bought a computer so we can use out of it and it's going to also show you too like in this phone and I have S Mode but we don't want to do it we don't want to completely switch out so we're going to hit get here okay and it didn't it says working on it it says you are all set you have switched out of S Mode now you can sell apps from outside the store so let's go ahead and see if that's actually true and let's talk a little bit about Snapdragon apps here I can definitely make a separate video about that because that's a different architecture in general um because there are some surfaces actually do have um with Snapdragon processors in it so it's a little bit different so it won't be x86 that's a completely different video but let's go ahead and try it now we actually go here go back here and we see a Windows 11 home and that's good so the activation state is active and everything looks to be fine right so let's go ahead and try to install Chrome again let's go ahead we can definitely right download the XT but we'll just show you here how it's not going to stay anymore well it does say here more but that doesn't matter anymore because it's probably still like the cookies and stuff right let's go ahead and see if we can download this time so we're going to go ahead click it installed now it should be totally fine that's just probably because it was shown it before but uh you know because I just hit the back button it still thinks I'm in yes mode so but that's just a prompt for the page it's probably like default web browser okay so we're gonna download this complete there waiting to install ing and it's great it's installing that means everything is working fine so I think that's really about it huh okay and we see Chrome is loading it came up and there you go it's fully installed so that's how you get out of Windows 11s mode all right so anyways guys I hope you guys
