how do I remove Microsoft Launcher from my phone

ANDROID USERS: 

It took about fifteen seconds after installing "Microsoft Launcher" to realize "NOPE". I went to default apps, in setting and found it, all the was available was Force Stop which when clicked did nothing, 

Uninstall is there but greyed out. Right? this is your issue? You want the solution? 

Well come to my site at ..... nah jk jk

What I found is that if you go to the top (I have galaxy note 8) and click the three dots you'll see "Uninstall for ALL users." Click that and its gone, all you're left with the **** Bing wallpaper. 

Hope this helps, make sure to click that it helped you to others can find it. 

Microsoft....I am a big supporter of yours, always have been. Thanks for all the good stuff you given us. But Launcher is NOT one of them. I also uninstalled as soon as I saw what Launcher was and how it radically transformed the UI and more on my phone.  No No...you can't do changes like this without clearly providing an exit/undo path. Thanks to Cheeks 1944 . Just installed Launcher, Found uninstall answer and uninstalled.

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.

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.

Darleen, 

Please find out how to get rid of this Microsoft Launcher. I don't just want to deactivate it.  I want it gone. It is a cancer.  I may just return my new windows laptop. The procedure to get this new windows laptop up and running is when this launcher took over my Android phone. With the Microsoft Launcher, Google is gone from my phone and seems to be replaced by Bing, Edge is there taking over for browsing and PDFs. 

And all sorts of crap has also appeared on the phone.  As I said, it is a cancer and it was perpetrated by Microsoft.
