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 have just had to read through these posts to try to get rid of Microsoft Launcher. I hate how you literally have to go looking for a way to uninstall. Anyway that aside, I have just gone into my google play store and uninstalled the launcher app from there. All systems back to normal.

    Have you tried going to the Google Play Store and uninstall Microsoft Launcher from there?

    to uninstall the Microsoft launcher I first had to clear the Defaults on Microsoft launcher.

    tap in this order

    "Settings" "APPS"   "MICROSOFT launcher"  "open by default"    "clear Defaults" "Back(or left arrow)" "Uninstall"

    once the defaults on the Microsoft launcher were cleared the UNISTALL button became available.

    I hope this helps
