Disable Windows S Mode Without Microsoft Account in 2024

- Did you just get a system with Windows S Mode and you don't want to create a Microsoft Account to turn it off? No problem. I figured out a really easy way to turn off Windows S Mode without a Microsoft Account. In my last video there was a little confusion, so in this video I hopefully clear that up.

S mode was one of the dumbest things they ever did. They claim it's for 'security' but really it was meant to drive traffic to the MS Store. (because otherwise it would have almost none). All S mode did was annoy people.
But it IS a security feature actually. Because MS wants to secure its market share and the Mac Moneysack people at Redmond are eager after securing constant money flow into their moneybags. And they want to secure the constant grabbing of our data without our permission 😁💲💲💲 which they sell to services and ministries.
Whose security? Not ours.
It makes sense for the less tech literate family members that just click yes on everything. My problem is that you can't choose when to turn it on.
Tried dozens of approaches but after hours of searching, this was the only thing that worked. THANK YOU!
Thank you so much. I just got an acer today for school, going for CIS, and simply wanted to download chrome. I didn’t mind signing in with my outlook account but I guess the servers are down or something because every time I tried to switch out of S mode it would say “Try Again Later”. I found your vid from last year and did all the steps but it was still in S mode. But something told me to just check your other vids and I found this one. I am so thankful. I was able to finally get it out S mode. Thanks so much! For all of your help, you’ve got a new subscriber!
After trying a bunch of other stuff... this did the trick. Your the man! Got my Sub for sure!
Excellent video!! thanks for the info. Nice touch at the end there Mr. Cobb.
I usually spam ESC F1 F2 F10 DEL that should cover the majority of BIOS keys.
Ah yes the psychotic pianist😂😂you run through them in one clean sweep
I use CNTL-ALT-DEL and select shut down. It fixes every problem.
Thank you so much, I have been in actual tears trying to sort this out and your video has truly saved the day.
You are a lifesaver! A relative of mine needed help with disabling s mode and the regedit method did the trick! Thank you very much
Hey sir. Dropping in from Jamaica🇯🇲 to tell you THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!!
You helped get me out of that STUPID s mode......it had been a restrictive nightmare! Sir, you have helped THOUSANDS and words cant even begin to describe how very grateful we are. Big up urself 😉 Sending love from Jamaica 🇯🇲
bless your literal soul i bought a laptop for work and couldnt download anything. searched for HOURS today until i found this. you are a SAINT
a saint with a sick ass beard too
My friend bought a laptop that came with S Mode enabled. When he tried to turn it off it would give an error. We eventually fixed it by reinstalling Windows, but it still sucks that it came with it enabled.
You are a GENIUS! Everything else I tried failed (even Windows Store) to disable S Mode. Thank you!
Brilliant video. Thanks. I don't even need this method, but I've seen so many bad TH-cam videos that I like to praise superb ones.
Great to hear!
@@CyberCPUpls reply to my comment to see if there’s a problem 🥺
Thank you so much for this… need this to run certain programs and been going in circles for hours. This solved my issue.
Glad I stumbled onto this video. I bought a used refurbished PC, a Dell Optiplex (7th gen i5) and it does not have S mode, or it's turned off. I do run Windows 11 Pro, 22H2 but I can capture from OBS just fine. I had NO idea that the S mode was a thing, let alone prevents non MS software from seeing the computer, like OBS.
The place where I bought it is a local computer store here in town that sells both desktops and laptops, Windows/Apple, along with new parts for a DIY build. I don't consider myself a total noob with PC's as I have built a PC once, done many upgrades and used a Windows PC going back to the 386 days.
OHMYGOD THANK YOU!!!
I had tried disabling s mode, I’d tried everything else TH-cam told me over and over. I literally followed every step through to the end of the video and S mode is gone!!! That was the most technically advanced thing I’ve ever done, this is so not my wheelhouse but you made it so easy to understand. Liked and subscribed thank you!!!!
Why fight so hard for an OS that hates you😭
Because Linux isn't used enough for programs to be used natively on Linux
'cause the only alternative is Linux, and while I ABSOLUTELY ADORE Linux, it's VERY limited for gamers, A/V peeps etc.
@_xPaPaDx u forgot about freebsd, openbsd, fireflybsd, nomadbsd, and the best os ever temple os.
@@DerekFrampton A/V sure, but gamers? Hardly the case these days, unless you're playing something that has an Anti-Cheat where the devs haven't flipped a simple switch to allow Linux.
Try make your grandma use Linux ...
You wiill get called for help over and again 😘
I do get your point however and I have dual boot on my PC to select either Mint or 11.
Worked 👏🏻…just one thing, At the beginning of the process in my case the systems asked me for my recovery key, it happens because the drive is protected by bitlocker, it is necessary to deactivate it with the digital key because it does not work if that step is passed.
I wanted to share my experience with all of you because the first time I skipped that step and it didn't work for me, after I did it right it worked.
Very thankful about the information in this channel …really appreciate it. Thanks. 🙏🏻
Same. Once I put key in all went smoothly
THIS HELPED THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! After 24 hours of messing around, this worked! Now my 86 year old mother will have a computer! Thank you!
I had to use the registry option, but man this worked and thank you. I could not get out of S mode no matter what I tried. Appreciate you sharing this info for all of us to benefit from.
oh my god, you are a godsend. i had been trying to disable S mode for Hours, and im so thankful for this tutorial. thanks so much man
awsome man,thanks again worked great
Just letting everyone know that even if you have a Microsoft account set up and already done this work around worked for me!! Do exactly as he says word for word and it works thanks man!
When I disabled Secure Boot, Windows wouldn't boot because it was BitLocker encrypted, so I turned it back on, booted in, decrypted (which I was surprised it allowed me to do), and retried. After that, your tutorial worked flawlessly. Thank you so much for this video. Everyone else has outdated junk information that is useless. I would have been lost without your help.
Thx alot m8!!!
Awesome stuff !!
This video was the one that worked nice job!
You are a life saver! I had to get a new laptop after my 10+ old one messed up as this one came in S mode. M support tried to get me to spend 200 dollars to get a key to disable it. This completely turned my day around.
Great info! Ty.
Oh my god bro thank u so much for this video I tried all sorts of ways for hours to disable this thing and nothing worked but your video did and I'm really happy now
Thank you so much for the help brother it was hard to get rid of for no reason really appreciate the help
Thank you so much , I bought a Asus Laptop today and this is the only thing that worked .
I started the computer up hit f2 rapidly entered the BIOS went into , Disabled secure boot as you said . And amazingly when I started and wasn’t to the about section I it said windows 11 home only without S mode . Thank you so much . I hope other ppl watch this so they can get help
Excellent!!! Thanks!!! 🤘
great video!
i disabled windows and just went straight to pop os.
i'm really starting to like it. works great for steam and gaming as well.
thanks!
was just about to check my friends surface go 3 and so0Oo good to see this.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
3 option worked thank you!!!!🙏❤️💯
Yayyyyy! At last that stupid s mode is gone! All the support threads on Microsoft were useless and I could not get rid of s mode. I think they just want you to give up and live in the tiny little constricted land of s mode forever. I was afraid to go searching this deep into the bowels of my new laptop but you were a good guide and got me there and back safely. Thank you thank you thank you! I just installed Google, and next I can install lightburn.
Awesome Videos!
Followed the instructions for a brand new Acer aspire 5 that would not allow me to disable s mode and that was with a Microsoft account. I attempted to shut off s mode via the store and pressing the "get" button however mine continued to fail and said "try again" so I needed to look for a workaround and your method even though I had my Microsoft account enabled worked flawlessly!! Thank you!!
Dude thanks so much, totally solved the problem
Can you make an video about how to enable Windows Hello Fingerprint in Windows 10 ? I change my laptop motherboard because it broke an now i can't use my fingerprint to unlock my laptop .
Thank you very much ♥
Brand new Wal-Mart HP here. After initial setup, it would not kill S-mode for me. I reset da whole thang, set it up again with updates exactly how I did it initially and it killed S-mode upon request! Thank for da video! Mike in DFW
Thanks. It is working 👍
Thanks man! it works

How can it be fix to download the windows sir. Thanks 🙏 for your advice

DUUUUDE YOU ARE THE BEST

YOU SAVED MY LIFE

I have upgraded all of my older PC's using your method and it was successful, but I have run into a problem. Whenever I attempt to open a file using a double click on the file, I get the message "Access Denied when Accessing the user profile". I've checked the security on the file and on the application which is attempting to open the file and everything seems to be OK. When I right click on the file and use the open with command, the file opens normally. Have you either created a video to address this problem or do you know how to fix it?
Quick q, i want to create a windows 11 iso that bypasses the restrictions so that i can put it onto Ventoy,
Instead of using rufus, is that possible?,
There is the MSMG toolkit, but is there an easier alternative?
There’s a very easy way to get into the bios without having to find out your bios key. All you have to do is to go into settings, recovery mode, restart now, then when you get to the blue screen go to troubleshoot, advanced options, and Uefi firmware settings
He was right next to it just before he clicked on Command Prompt when he was in Recovery Mode 😂
This should also solve s mode?
No, even with account, we kept getting "Try Again". We had to disable Secure Boot, then change SKUpolicy to 0, then download and set Chrome to default, then turn on Secure Boot. Was a cheap HP laptop. Many others suffer same issue with those cheap machines.
Glad it helped.
My windows 11 home edition was unboxed with the S mode turned off. Even though I have a home edition I keep getting a message saying some features are controlled by my company? Why?
have you connected to a organisation account and and click yes to give permission to the organisation admin to control the pc ? if yes then that why. if not , it can be a malware the cause or that someone have used that pc before and join a domain (but that only if the pc is used and not new)
@@xgui4-studios I have my desktop at home and I am retired. I don't have an organization to connect to. I have tried several malware programs and nothing is flagged. I also installed postmaster just recently. Also systeminternals Suite .
@@xgui4-studios I purchased the computer brand new and it came with windows 10. Microsoft sent me an offer to upgrade to windows 11 home edition for free so I installed that pkg.
The one from a year ago i just watched and worked flawlessly, now on chrome THANKS!
Thank you bro))
what's the Gameboy looking thing with 6 buttons on the shelf behind you?
I did a video about it a long time ago. It's the PiBoy DMG. It's a raspberry pi Gameboy clone. It's really good.

@@CyberCPU Thank you sir :)
Thank you it worked 🙌🏾😍😅🙏🏾
Thank you Thank you Thank you. This worked for me 🤩🤩🤩
Thanks for your last video as disabling it without a MS account was a required.
I made a throw away account when I bought my parents an inexpensive laptop to set them up on zoom. They are in their 80 and *0's. Promptly forgot about the account.
A year later bought another budget laptop with Windows 11 in S mode. Found it impossible to create another throwaway account as my phone number is already used. So I had a new PC I could browse the web, but not install any software with. couldn't even use the trial Office 360 program without logging in with long forgotton credentials. 3 months later, your video was found. Exited S mode and installed the software for my non MS applications. Thanks. A year later upgraded to a multi-touch touchscreen model. Now they added Bitlocker to the mix of things needing disabled to make the change. Thanks for the great work.
Still don't know my MS username and password, but do know my phone number. Don't care.
When I get to the policy inside the hive my value is already a 0. And still get the message try agin in the store to turn off s mode.
First method failed, second method worked. Finally… thank you
Acer notebooks require you to set a bios password to turn off secure boot
Go to security, set the administrator (bios) password, (1111 works fine) then go back and turn off secure boot then you can go back and disable the administrator password by entering it once, then leaving the both of the new PW box empty.
HP also is the only one that requires the "bios captcha" from what I have seen.
Thank you very much, the regedit method works for me
Can you please help me? I have not found my problem. I know that I will find it with you when I install the updates for the computer and so on. My system does not boot for years, why, but the problem must be related to RAID NVME
Secure boot disabled trick works thanks bro
S Mode should NOT exist. It is like buying a house but you get a TOS from a rented apartment (no pets, no improvements, no noise after 10pm, etc etc etc.)_
Apple started this walled garden bs but Americans are such simps to the iphones
Like an HOA.
There are some situations that demand it. For example, most of the little microPCs like he used for his demo, end up screwed to the VESA mount on the back of a monitor that's one of 200 in an acre-sized room full of cubicles. Network administrators would go nuts without S mode on those PCS. That's why it's NOT enabled on DIY motherboards but is enabled on PCs bound for enterprise use.
@@LostInThe0zone HOA is S mode for windows.
S mode is like a Karen demanding you to swim with a life jacket during a diving course
Please help!! I have a Lenovo Ideapad 1 , I have gone into my bios and disabled the secure mode. However, in my about section of the system it still shows that my computer is still in S Mode. I am following your next instructions on what to do. I am stuck athe the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE; I have it selected and I click on File and then selected the 'load hive'. I clicked on the 'System32'at the top in the window, BUT it will not show my C drive. Grrrrr.
It Shows Desktop , librairies, System, This PC, Downloads, Desktop, Documents, Music, Videos, Pictures, Boot(X), blah blah blah. What do I do? I am stuck there because I'm not sure if it is a good idea to get out of where I am in the reset process. Please help!! Your comments will be sooooo much appreciated!!!!
Will this work if you do have a Microsoft account? I have one and trying to turn s-mode off is still a nightmare :T
Thank you broo
I can’t just “turn off S mode” the Get button just won’t work, it says Try Again, and “Something happened and we couldn’t start the upgrade” any ideas??? I’ve tried everything
what the hell? S mode still exists outside Home Edition? that's illegal.
Thank you
I did all the steps and anyway my computer comes out in window S Mode, I'm frustrated. Could you help me, my computer is Windows 11 and carry out all the steps, enter the system, delete the number 1 and however when you go to the activation information, it comes out active. What am I doing wrong??? Help thankyou
Rich - could you do a story on the windows share window?
I have a question. How do I stop Windows 10 from turning updates back ON? I mean, I don't want any updates because I'm afraid that they gonna mess things up. So I turn them off. Both in the settings and in services, but for some reason when I connect to in the internet, Windows 10 automatically turns them back ON. So how do I stop Windows 10 from doing that anyway?? Like, I'm tired of every time going to services and turning off the windows updates. It just makes me mad!
which one better ARUS or MSI ???
Thabk you so much I actually have a microsoft account and when I tried to get the off switch it would just say something went wrong this was my only method to actually use my computer
Me too!!!
🤪
so why does his ASUS computer not have S mode? I also have such a system. I cant find any "s mode" setting in settings or control panel.
There's only one thing I'd add to the Secure Boot section. In my netbook bios you can't change the security settings unless you have a Supervisor password. So you add one, change the settings, remove it once you're done.
Is there a way to get Microsoft's PC Manager from the Microsoft Store without an account?
Windows clobbered my reFIND (multiboot) manager. So now my alternate installs are all essentially gone. :(
Gosh, for a while I thought this was about a single language Windows, as I read it somewhere recently. Had to google what S mode actually is. And this is what I found:
- It’s more secure because it only allows apps to be installed from the Microsoft Store.
- It’s streamlined to reduce RAM and CPU use.
- Everything a user does is automatically saved to OneDrive to free up local storage.
HELL NO! If for nothing else, then OneDrive automatic upload is a big NO NO for me. I want to OWN my data, not being held ransom by somebody else's server.
Besides, Microsoft store hosted a trojan previously, as I found out second hand. Can you sandbox and virustotal apps on MS app store?
Man you’re a freaking lifesaver lol
I have a Asus vivibook laptop 2022 and it came with windows 11 and no matter what I try I can’t switch out of s mode, has anyone figured out another way because none of these are working :(
Intsructions unclear. Surface pro is now a Mac Pro.
Woohoo! Gone! Used little on this dual boot laptop but, need that freedom occasionally to do as I wish.
I think the step missed earlier was to be sure to be on C drive and not the X drive.
🎉🎉
Sir if i could kiss your feet, i would 😭😭😭 literally bought a new computer a few hours ago and ive been agonizing over this till i was in tears. I love you and ur beautiful brain ❤❤❤
Try something for curiosity on your non important pc to see if they fixed it over the years. I refuse to do a microsoft account since then.
Create a pc with only a microsoft account then in windows disable ethernet and wifi module reboot the pc and voila. No access to your pc because cant connect to internet to validate password... Has this changed?
Back in 2019 an update was installed which forced s mode on in Windows 10 so what I wound up doing was finding a way to disable it. i think i did an ms account, then as soon as I got s mode off I deleted the ms account
S Mode is still around?
My system is different! Can you do a remote removal?
Mine is still in s mode but when I was in secure boot I couldn’t turn of the boot
Running the command. shutdown /r /fw /t 0 from an elevated command prompt will immediately restart the computer into the BIOS.
I owe you $10.00 for this. Thank you!
one thing I still don't know how to solve is the calendar, I like the W11 calendar (the old one) unfortunately Microsoft always forces me to switch to the new Outlook calendar and with that give Microsoft permissions to access my email account and emails but of course I rejected it, the problem is that every two weeks I have to repeat the same process of switching from the new to the old calendar, maybe I'll install a calendar from some other site as long as it gives me notifications of the things I put in the calendar, that's enough for me, it's very frustrating see Microsoft to force customers to change.
THANK YOU 😭
I bought a computer to play sims and they wouldnt let me install EA because it wasnt a verfied app?? I could have sobbed following thanks!
