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?

    Please help me remove Microsoft. launcher from my phone. Uninstalled the app after it took over my home screen and I can't find the apps I need. This is incredibly frustrating. Please change whatever you need to change so I can remove this or help me understand how to do it. I tried a number of the solutions posted and they didn't work. Thank you

    Hi if you go into 'play store' app on your phone and search 'microsoft launcher' and go into it you will see an uninstall option that can be pressed. This worked for me on a Samsung A5 and my phonez bavk to normal.

    I ad similar problem on my Samsung Galaxy Tab E 9.6 tonight. On this tablet i can still swipe down and go to setting and access the Smart Manager and then I went to applications manager within the Smart manager and told it to remove the programs no longer needed, i.e. microcough Launcher. That removed the launcher and my system  went back to normal. Whew! I thought Ihad lost al of my data.

    Just go to Play Store, look up Microsoft Launcher and click uninstall there. Then you have to choose Touch Wiz as your (original) launcher, when you exit Google Play Store.
