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 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

    I uninstalled Microsoft Launcher from my Samsung A5 by going back into 'play store' on my phone and searching it again. The uninstall option is available there. Once uninstalled I restarted my phone to be sure. I'm all back to how it was before installing Microsoft Launcher. Hope this helps

    This is horrible. A big update to try to take over our phones and you still can't get it right.

    Thank you! I installed this earlier this morning and wasn't expecting MS to completely take over my phone. All of my previous apps across the different screens, gone. Would have taken hours to get things back the way I like it when all I wanted was the ability to send some small bits of info back and forth with my microsoft account.

    I absolutely hate how software companies thing they know what's best for you these days. All the initial notice I got from MS and the creator update was about sharing docs across apps, I didn't want, nor need a new launcher installed. 

    Thanks for the help,.
