Windows 10 S Mode: Microsoft had announced the change of the Windows 10 S version in Windows 10 mode, and it seems it kept its promise and even automatically. S or S Mode essentially limits the use of Win32 software, a system which we have known since the beginning of Windows.
The new way operation Windows 10 S is expected to be available on most versions of Windows 10, whereas previously only Pro SKU users could upgrade (?).
Microsoft is preparing a new feature that will allow everyone to "switch to S mode" directly from the application "Settings." So changing Windows mode will be a matter of a few clicks.
This feature was first seen in Windows 10 build 17686, which was released via preletterof Windows Insider in rings Fast and Skip Ahead
The new build includes switching to S mode and will likely be an additional feature we'll see with the Redstone 5 update expected in the fall. The Settings app in the new trial version contains a new choice called Switch to S Mode.
It remains to be seen how Windows 10 S Mode will evolve in upcoming releases of Redstone 5, as the next version continues to grow daily.
