Solution 1:

You cannot enable S mode, you can only disable it.

See the Microsoft article Windows 10 in S mode FAQ. Below are some excerpts from the article.

How does Windows 10 S change with the release of the April 2018 Update for Windows 10?

With the release of Windows 10, the April 2018 Update, “Windows 10 S” becomes a mode of Windows 10 (called “S mode”) that is available in more editions of Windows (not just Windows 10 Pro).

You’ll be able to buy new PCs with either Windows 10 Home in S mode or Windows 10 Pro in S mode preinstalled.

If you have an existing Windows 10 S device, when you install the April 2018 Update, the device will become a Windows 10 Pro in S mode device.

Can i switch out of S mode on my Windows 10 PC?

You can switch out of S mode easily at any time through the Microsoft Store within Windows. There is no charge for switching the mode. The switch is one-way; if you make the switch, you won't be able to go back to S mode. See below for important additional limitations when switching out of S mode on devices that use the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor.

To learn more or switch out of S mode, go to the Microsoft Store within Windows and search for “switch out of S mode”.

Note

Switching out of S mode is one-way. If you make the switch, you won't be able to go back to Windows 10 in S mode.
