Cannot switch out of S Mode
Hi, There doesn't seem to be a specific community hub for my question, so perhaps someone can direct me. I just bought a Lenovo, I'm using windows 10 or 11 i'm not sure which, and when I click "Get" to switch off S mode all I get is a page saying "Something happened and we couldn't start the upgrade". The reason I bought a Lenovo because the software I need for a contract requires Windows. And I can't download the software because of the S mode, which won't switch off. To add to my frustration the contract has already started and I'm behind. I've updated the laptops software, restarted numerous times, and I get the same message. If anyone can help, that would be much appreciated.ConnorJamesJan 31, 2026Copper Contributor7.7KViews1like18CommentsThe progress bar in Windows 10 differs from that in Windows 11.
The progress bar in Win10 (e.g., during downloads or file copying) feels different compared to Win11, and I'm not quite used to it. Is this a system setting, or can it be changed back to the Win10 style?JettStoneJan 30, 2026Iron Contributor14Views0likes0Commentswindows 10 your device is missing important security and quality fixes

Without using any third-party customization tools, I have observed a Windows Vista-style application interface on the taskbar of an official brand laptop/desktop running Windows 11. This feature appears to be a built-in official characteristic of Windows 11, but I cannot find any option to enable or configure it in the current device settings. Seeking specific activation methods and the official name of this feature.MikaeliopJan 30, 2026Iron Contributor38Views0likes2CommentsHow to enable the Windows key press to highlight the mouse pointer in Windows 10
On a newly purchased computer, I noticed that when holding down the Windows logo key on the keyboard, the mouse pointer instantly changes to a highlighted touch indicator (style: white circle + blue outer ring + purple glow). This feature is more noticeable than the traditional "press Ctrl to locate the pointer" function (especially on complex backgrounds). I need to confirm whether this is a new feature in Windows 10 and find the specific settings path to enable/disable it.HoltSawyeJan 30, 2026Iron Contributor19Views0likes0CommentsHow to take screenshot on windows 10 and make editing afterwards
Switched from a MacBook Pro and bought an used laptop. It is now running Windows 10 as the hardware requirement is not qualified to Windows 11. As a newbie, my first question is how to take screenshot on windows 10 with advanced editing tools, such as adding text , shapes, circles. Unfortunately, my favorite screenshot app on mac does not have a Windows version. Hope someone could suggest a good and use friendly screenshot tool for Windows 10.

Hello, I have a computer with a clean install of Windows 10 22H2 build 19045.4123. There is one local user account and one user with a Microsoft account on the computer. Both of these users have admin rights, and RDP connections are also explicitly enabled for both. The user with the local account connects to the computer using RDP without any problems, but the user with the Microsoft account cannot connect - the system responds "The logon attempt failed", but the username and password for the Microsoft account are entered without error. Any ideas what is wrong and how to fix it?SolvedTomas_ChylikJan 30, 2026Brass Contributor22KViews8likes12CommentsEdge Bar is not available in Windows 10
