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?

    Just tried to uninstall Microsoft launchet using your advice - I went to Settings, then Applications - Microsoft Launcher is not listed there. I want this off my phone now - it has hijacked everything I had set up - not happy.

    Please do NOT tell me take the phone back to the manufacturer - Your system/program/app did this and it is your duty of care to undo this.

    I'm a Samsung Galaxy S8 user.  Find Settings>Apps>Microsoft Launcher.  Tap on "Microsoft Launcher".  Scroll down to "Set as Default" and tap. Now tap "CLEAR DEFAULTS".  Tap the "<" at the top left of the screen.  Uninstall is now available.
