S Mode

Firstly, it seems laptops supplied with Windows Home are often set to S Mode from new. You won't be able to install Templot, or much else, until you have escaped from S Mode. The process for doing so is distinctly arcane, full explanation at:

https://windows.com/SmodeFAQ

Click Windows 11 or Windows 10 , and then "how do I switch out of S mode?"

Then click this link to download the current version of Templot. The download will start after a few moments. DO NOT click anything on the web page which appears, it is mostly advertising. The download will start automatically, even if I have been run over by a bus:


https://sourceforge.net/projects/opentemplot/files/templot_257a_setup.exe


Then open the downloaded file to install the current version. You do not need to uninstall any previous version.
