S mode is just a mitigation in the Exploit Mitigation toolkit. You basically allow only signed Store apps - or everything.
I've outlined this in my exploit mitigation tutorial. He he.

Indeed and MS is surprised, why people insist on using XP/7, when anything can change/break within 10 thanks to a tiny update.

Like I have found only today, that MS has decided to deny users uninstalling network protocols (since 1803), because those people do know, what they are doing. Like common users would ever do that, they do not even know, how to setup DNS. And all this time, since it was released, I was waiting for a fix. I had to do it myself. Well, at least I have learnt something again.

Code:

I just came back to this Win10 x64 1803 machine to find a BSOD. What do I do about this?

 

Microsoft to let you remote install Windows 10 apps directly from the Store website

I never understood why they didn't make this optional, I see they have finally come to their senses.

When I will switch to Win 10, I'm planning to disable Windows Updates and install an anti-spying tool to disable most of that telemetry crap and never look back. I will not deal with all of this garbage just look how many problems are caused by these so called "improvements".

 

Microsoft must help consumers affected by Windows 10 PC pain
Half of Windows 10 users have experienced computer problems and issues almost three years after the PC software launched, according to new research by Which?.

Microsoft employees are not satisfied with the internal support they require in order to effectively meet customer needs. An internal Microsoft employee satisfaction survey, that was leaked to CNBC , shows a 47%-49% satisfaction level in 2015-2016 with internal protocols. The satisfaction level rose 9% in 2017-2018, so some issues have obviously been addressed by the company. Windows 10 (WaaS) was introduced in 2015, so this survey is a direct link to that deliverable.

It is not overly surprising that front line employees get frustrated with internal processes and procedures, but when they believe it has a negative effect on meeting customers' needs - over the 4 year period that encompasses the implementation of their new business strategy, which is service based - it should raise eyebrows, both internally as well as externally.

Overall, the survey indicates that Microsoft employees are very satisfied with their jobs, their company and their products. It is clear that they have high expectations of themselves as well as their company. Hopefully, their management responds positively to their feedback.

My reference is to the results (employee responses) to the questions in the survey, see tables in the link ...

How does Win 10 1803 behave after almost 1.5 month from release? Does recent Patch Tuesday fixed your problems?

 

@reasonablePrivacy
thank god i never had any problems with 10. zilch. the pt (17134.112) went ok too.

 

No problems here either, and I didn't even perform a clean install of the update.

I wish I hadn't said that, now my PC will probably collapse into a smoking pile of rubble

 

In my case, version 1803 performs as well as it should. After all dust settled down after installing the April update on April 30th, the only "glitch" I had was the error or mistake that would label my feedback frequency as Insider program under Settings>Privacy>Diagnostic & feedback>Feedback frequency. That was fixed by latest patch. As I understand it, most users if not everyone had same issue. Anyone who had that issue, can check, it should be fixed now. Now, you should be able to choose the frequency as you wish.
