Switch out of S Mode

Hi All! New here! I got a good deal on OLM 3. So I ordered an HP 14 Laptop from Amazon with Windows 11, and got everything setup in my shed. I downloaded the Free Trial from Lightburn. Bu when trying to open the download, a notification tells me about S Mode. It sent me to the MS Store to get an app to Switch Out of S Mode. There was only one APP available, and that was for Huawei devices. It also had terrible reviews. Like a one out of five stars. So, my days of trial usage are clicking away on Lightburn.

I guess my question is, does anyone know of a work around to get switched out of S Mode? Or am I stuck with this laptop, and not able to use it for it’s intended purposes?

Thanks for any help! Chuck

No app needed:

Thanks! I was successful in exiting S mode, but the new laptop crashed, and I returned it, then purchased a desktop HP. I have downloaded LightBurn trial again. All set up, and have a bad case of the jitters. I have not fired anything yet, but remembered I made this post, and wanted to come back, and thank anyone who responded to my question. Very grateful for the replies.
