That's interesting, Karen. I had never heard of S mode before your post. My wife and I have several Windows 10 computers. I'm guessing that it is certain computers that come with the S mode as default. I found this Microsoft webpage describing how to switch out of S mode:
Switching out of S mode is apparently one-way. You can't switch back to S mode if you have switched out of it to install an app that was not downloaded from the Microsoft Store.
The S mode is "designed for security and performance, exclusively running apps from the Microsoft Store".
