Windows S Mode prevents running Viewline because:
- S Mode only allows Microsoft Store apps
- Third-party software installations are blocked
- PowerShell and Command Prompt access is restricted
How to Run Viewline
Switch out of S Mode (one-way process):
- Open Settings → System → Activation
- Select “Go to Store” under “Switch out of S Mode”
- Click “Get” (free, but irreversible)
- Restart your computer
After switching:
- Download the software installer
- Run as administrator
- Follow standard installation steps
Important Notes
- Switching out of S Mode cannot be undone
- No data loss occurs during switch
- Your Windows edition remains unchanged
- Original security features like Windows Defender remain active
