S-mode block on new Windows computers. (UX)
Windows computers in 2020 come with S mode enabled out of the box. S mode is a sort of safety feature that allows the use of Windows apps. It prevents the user from downloading apps that are not approved or in the Microsoft ecosystem. However, this safety net may feel like a butterfly net because users cannot access some of the apps they may have purchased the device for. In addition, some apps like Chrome although Windows competitors have a wider array of app extensions that make getting work done easier. Windows is claiming protection but some purchases come with Norton or Mcafee accounts for virus protection. Lenovo computers have their own suite of tools but all exist within the Windows 10 interface comfortably. In an effort to capitalize on Windows users, S mode has exchanged the freedom of users to leverage the to date services people need for Windows ecosystem expansion.
