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?

    Is this a serious answer?

    You want us to contact the manufacturer of a phone to uninstall a bad app Microsoft has developed!!!???

    I just tried doing that with my Android phone.  Mind you, it's Android 8.0 on a Samsung Note 8 (Sprint) and you can't long press or go into the app and just uninstall the app from there.

    Hello,

    Sorry to hear you are having this issue. Have you gone to the Google Play Store on your device and searched for the application Microsoft Launcher and click uninstall from there?

    It worked!!! I've been pulling my hair out the last couple days. Hate the Windows 10 sync. Also screwed up my connectivity. Making a phone call outside of wifi was next to impossible. Thank you. Did exactly what you said. My Samsung J7 is back to normal.

    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. 

    Greetings. What I did to uninstall the app was to go to the app in google playstore and uninstall from there. It removed it completely and quickly.
