What is S Mode in windows 11?
S Mode is for the users who really don’t want to install any third-party apps on their PC. Basically, this mode blocks all the third-party apps installation, improving security by limiting access to some features. And security is the only aspect where I would recommend you to use S Mode but other than this it is just a waste.
