Windows 11 in S mode is a version of Windows 11 that's streamlined for security and performance. Here's a breakdown:
Increased Security: S mode only allows you to install apps from the Microsoft Store. This significantly reduces the risk of malware and other security threats, as all apps in the Store are vetted by Microsoft.
Enhanced Performance: Because only Store apps can run and the operating system is more restricted, Windows 11 in S mode generally offers faster boot times and longer battery life. This also helps keep performance consistent over time.
Exclusivity to the Microsoft Edge browser: Windows 11 in S mode uses Microsoft Edge as the default browser and Bing as the default search engine. This cannot be changed while in S mode.
Limitations: The primary downside is the restriction to Microsoft Store apps. If you need to use an application that's not available in the Store (e.g., Adobe Creative Suite, Steam games), you'll need to switch out of S mode. Note that there is no way to switch back to S mode once you switch out of it.
Switching out of S mode: The process to switch out of S mode is generally simple and free. You can do this through the Microsoft Store app.
Ideal for: S mode is well-suited for students, casual computer users, or anyone who primarily uses web-based applications and requires a secure and efficient computing experience. It's also beneficial for devices with lower specifications, as the streamlined OS can improve overall responsiveness.
