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?

    I think I found a way to remove it.  This worked for me.  Go to Google Play, find Microsoft Launcher.  The uninstall button should be active.  Then uninstall it.  Hope this helps.

    If you included an uninstaller I would have used it. At I can do is to force stop it, should have known better than to install something from Microsoft.

    Hello Rob,

    Sorry to hear you are having this issue. Have you gone to the Google Play Store on your device and searched for the application Microsoft Launcher and click uninstall from there?

    Hi. The reason for my post was because the uninstall button for Microsoft Launcher in Applications was not selectable, i.e., it was not "lit up," for lack of a better phrase.  Mysteriously, it became available following Microsoft's response. Thank you for listening Microsoft as much appreciated. 

    Greetings. What I did to uninstall the app was to go to the app in google playstore and uninstall from there. It removed it completely and quickly.
