I decided to respond to an email and sync my phone to 10.  After downloading, ti presented one program after another to download and will not accept a refusal and it keeps showing me ads.  I want my old control system back.  I cannot erase Microsoft launcher but I did deactivate it.  That has helped some. I have trouble getting the home page to have what I need on it and I have difficulty using it as a phone now at times although deactivating it did help this. Can I go back to my old management system on my galaxy 6?

    On my Samsung 7 Edge I got rid of the app itself, but the chaos it created remains on my start screen.

    My original start screen is not longer an option in my settings, only the two new Microsoft.

    Is there a way to get back to my original Samsung screen, or it is lost forever?

    (I was so happy to get rid of my Windows phone and back to Android. And now this happens.!

    Is this a revenge ?)

    Thank you. I tried that but "UNINSTALL" wasn't "lit."

    So I followed another reader's advice and went to the app store. There, I was able to uninstall this thing.
