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?

    Hi Ricki,

    Since you already deactivated the Microsoft Launcher, we believe that your device is already running its previous Operating System. Because of this, it will be best to contact the manufacturer of your device and inform them that you want to use its previous management system. They are the best people that could help you with your concern because they have the expertise when it comes to navigate and manage the settings of your device.

    If further assistance is needed, we are here to help.

    Hi,

    You can try to uninstall Microsoft Launcher by opening your phone's Settings, click on Applications and then look for Microsoft Launcher. You can uninstall the app by clicking the Uninstall button. After uninstalling the application, you might need to restart your device. In the event that you'll experience any issues with changing your phone's launcher to default, we highly suggest that you contact the manufacturer of the device. They can provide you assistance with your concern because they have the expertise when it comes to navigating and managing the settings of your phone.

    Reply to this thread if you'll need further assistance.

    Hi. The reason for my post was because the uninstall button for Microsoft Launcher in Applications was not selectable, i.e., it was not "lit up," for lack of a better phrase.  Mysteriously, it became available following Microsoft's response. Thank you for listening Microsoft as much appreciated.

    Microsoft, this is a horrible answer.  

    You didn't just link our phones, you completely overrode the navigation, in a way that makes it hard to find all the apps we know we'll need.  And now I've uninstalled, I see you've even disconnected the photo I like to have on my home and lock screens.

    I'm still not sure what the benefits were going to be...but this level of depersonalization was not cool.
