I was surprised to find out the something even worse is happening on default installations of Windows 10: you cannot install non-Microsoft software at all unless you go to the system settings and disable "S mode".
It's impossible for someone who's not technically oriented to know how to disable S mode or even what it is, and trying to get my mum to install Google Chrome on her new computer was harder than it has any right to be.
When did the ability to run software get this bad?
- benhurmarcel 6y agoOnly some PC models come with S mode by default (notably the Surface do).
- mFixman 6y agoS mode is active by default in regular, non-Surface Lenovo Ideapad laptops.
