Abstract
Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed for dynamic extension of restricted software applications after an operating system mode switch. An example system includes a switch detector to detect a switch of a computing device from a restricted operating system to an unrestricted operating system, and a restricted application upgrader to be invoked when the switch is detected, the restricted application upgrader is to generate a first request to a server to obtain a first executable, the first request including a parameter of a restricted software application of the computing device, execute the first executable to generate a second request to the server to obtain a second executable to install an unrestricted software application associated with the restricted software application, and execute the second executable to install the unrestricted software application.
