S mode Not popping up in microsoft store.

I have tried using varieties of ways on how to get out of S mode. Like repair and reset from microsoft app settings, made a new hotmail account, and trying wsreset.exe, but all the outcomes still remain the same. Please help! I am using a Asus J401M laptop 2021 14in. Using windows 11

Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

Some people have reported these steps may work to switch out of S Mode.

Open the Settings App, then go to System - Recovery.

Click the 'Reinstall Now' button in the 'Fix problems using Windows Update' section.

When that process completes, try switching out of S Mode.

Thank you for the screenshot, that looks good, your Windows version is fully up to date, what happens not if you open the Settings App, then go to the Activation page and click 'Go to the Store' what options is available there?

In that case, the best option is to contact Microsoft Support directly, you have done all you can do, there, must be a problem on their end, they will be able to switch the device out of S Mode for you.
