Normally, Windows 10 will not allow you to disable S-Mode unless you create a Microsoft Account and sign in. This most likely links your computer permanently to your Microsoft Account identity. To disable S-Mode without a Microsoft Account: 1) Boot into your computer's UEFI (BIOS) settings 2) Disable Secure Boot 3) Boot into Windows 10 4) Notice that S-Mode is now gone 5) Boot into the UEFI settings again 6) Enable Secure Boot 7) Boot into Windows 10 8) Notice that S-Mode is still gone. TLDR: Temporarily disable Secure Boot.
