You turn off S mode in settings security Once it's turn off, it can't even been turned back on

you have to log in to a pc before you can do anything. Just like you have to turn it on.

why is that an issue? Unless you are trying to fiddle with a laptop that isn’t yours

I don't mean log into the pc. I mean log into an ms online account and into the ms store. I do not have an online ms account and don't want one. It just a way of tracking

And my pc is set so it boots without a login screen.

log into microsoft account to turn of S mode?
