Try try this first:

  • Open Settings.
  • Go to Apps & Features and look for the Microsoft Store app.
  • Click on it and choose Advanced options.
  • Find the Reset button and hit it.
  • After the process finishes, reboot your device from the Start menu and retry to get out of S mode, following the steps in the Microsoft page.
