This helps to explain S Mode but it may be difficult to make the change. I've seen posts that were more about getting the computer out of S Mode.

@OP I think you are hitting a limitation of the S mode. Either you accept the limitation or you get out of the S mode.

I have to ask WHY?
For the life of me I can't understand why anyone would want to limit themselves by using it.
