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?

    Go to settings/apps and "force stop" the Microsoft launcher.

    Then clear the default settings further down the page for the app.

    After that the "uninstall" option appears.

    I FOUND THE ANSWER!!!!!

    I have a GALAXY S7 Active so it is a bit different than the Note 8 as mentioned.  

    Select the following:

    >SETTINGS 

    >APPLICATIONS

    >select the pull down menu from the THREE DOTS

    >RESET APP PREFERENCES

    >now you can select MICROSOFT LAUNCHER 

    >UNINSTALL will now be available

    >select TOUCHWIZ HOME

    tada!!!

    Microsoft launcher was not bad, but I could never get notifications properly when texts, mail etc came through.

    All you have to do is go to the Play Store and find the Microsoft Launcher.  There will be an uninstall button.  Click that and everything will return to normal.  I have a Samsung phone to and that's what I did.
