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?

    Go to settings/apps and "force stop" the Microsoft launcher.

    Then clear the default settings further down the page for the app.

    After that the "uninstall" option appears.

    I did what Kerila said on 11/15/2017.  I went to the play store and looked up launcher.  You can easily UNINSTALL from there.  I had to turn off the phone and turn it on, but so far it looks like it's gone.  What an absolutely horrid experience!!!!

    That would usually work, as it does with most every other app. But with this one the uninstall button cannot be clicked. So the normal way does not work. I wish it did because I do not like the Microsoft launcher
