⚜ Smode is an additional set of restrictions in Windows that is intended to protect you. Most people want to get rid of it.

⚜ Smode?
Smode restricts Windows to only installing apps from the Microsoft Store and forces Edge to be used as the default browser. I believe it’s too limiting for most users, but it can protect those prone to risky behavior. Once you turn Smode off, you cannot turn it back on. Avoid buying devices with Smode unless necessary.
