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?

    Had to de-activate the app as a device administrator - that allowed the uninstall button to be active.

    Settings

    Security

    Device administrators.

    Worked for me

    I also had grayed out Uninstall button, could not see three dots in upper right and really wanted it off my phone - Galaxy7.  I went back into Settings within the Launcher app and then at the bottom into store which took me to google play - yippee, an Uninstall button. Then I restarted phone and I seem to be back to my original settings. Phew.

    I uninstalled it by going back into the 'play store' on my Samsung A5 and searching for 'Microsoft Launcher' and the uninstall option is there. Hope this helps
