Is there any down side to disabling S mode on a Windows 10 machine?
Thanks,

Hi Mike,
Windows 10 S mode is new. It's supposed to offer more security and is designed for "lighter devices" and yes, I had to look that up.
I suspect your laptop is meant for people who mostly browse the web and maybe do some light emailing, like a chromebook or a tablet. It limits you to app downloads from the windows store and that's probably what they mean by more security.
Once you turn it off, you can't turn it back on. Here's some details and how to turn it off:

Personally, I wouldn't want it, but that's me.
Hope that helps,
Dave
