Why won’t Chrome install on my computer?

If you are having trouble installing Google Chrome, your computer is likely in S mode. This mode is for security purposes and only allows app downloads from the Microsoft Office store. If the application you want to download is not available in the Microsoft Office store, you will need to disable this mode to install it on your computer.

1. Go to “Settings” and select “Update & security.”
   
2. Click “Activation.”
   
3. In the “Switch to Windows 10 Pro” or “Switch to Windows 10 Home” p, press the “Go to Store” option.
   
4. You should see a success message on the screen, which means you can now download apps that are not listed in the Microsoft Office store.

To disable S mode in Windows 11, follow the steps below:

1. Find “Settings” and launch the app.
   
2. Select “Activation”.
   
3. In the “Switch to Windows 11 Pro” p, click “Open Store.”
   
4. Press the “Get” button.
