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 am very angry with Microsoft the way it aggressively took over my phone and it made it really hard to remove the launcher - it is not listed in the apps list and the advice that has been given is woefully inadequate - I want rid if this unwanted app ASAP

    I uninstalled microsoft launcher on my Samsung A5 by finding it in 'play store' and selecting 'uninstall' from within it. Hope his helps

    Yes, I also responded to Win10 update in Feb 2018 and selected Sync to my Phone.

    On my Android Samsung S8, Microsoft launcher kept asking to make it the default launcher - every time I did something on the phone - it did not accept my repeated NO and had no 'don't ask again'

    Very annoying.

    Had to uninstall it.

    How does Microsoft get away with this arrogance.
