Windows 10 PCs in S Mode can only install applications from the Microsoft Store. You can also only browse the web with Microsoft Edge. But you’re free to leave S Mode, if you like. And if you do, you can return to installing programs in the old fashioned way.
To deactivate S-Mode, open the Microsoft Store app on your PC and search for “Switch out of S Mode.” The Store will guide you through taking your PC out of S Mode.
Please note that once you disable S-Mode, you cannot re-enable it!
In the old world I grew up in, email could be sorted into folders to keep organized. I just found out through a painful process that different email apps use different terminology. In most old email programs, those organizing spaces are called folders. In the Gmail app, those spaces are called labels. In the IOS app on Apple devices, they are called mailboxes.
With that out of the way, life should be a bit more tolerable.
If you have this problem on your Windows 10 computer, chances are your computer has accidentally switched into Tablet Mode the last time it rebooted.
To immediately fix the problem, click on your Notifications button found at the far right of your taskbar. You will see a number of features that can be turned on and off. Make sure the “Tablet Mode” button is off.
To assure this doesn’t happen again, go into Settings > System > Tablet Mode.
The very first setting will probably say “Automatic” or “Use appropriate mode for my hardware”. Switch this to “Use Desktop Mode” if you are on a desktop or laptop. Switch it to “Use Tablet Mode” if you are on a tablet. Only use the automatic mode if you are on a device that can be used as a computer or a tablet.
That should solve your problem.
