switch back to s mode on my windows 10 laptop

I switched out of s mode on the windows 10 laptop. I realized I didn't have to do that. How do i recover s mode?

Basically -- you don't! 

Everything that MS and other have posted about switching OUT of S-mode clearly indicates that this is a on-way process.  You can not NOW go back.

Hi, @Olga_68 

The only way to go back to S mode would be if your notebook is supported by the HP cloud recovery tool, which you can use to make a bootable recovery drive that will return the notebook to its original configuration.

Here is an info link for how to use that utility.

You will lose all data on the drive if you use the cloud recovery tool to restore your notebook's drive to its 'out of the box' condition.
