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?

    If you included an uninstaller I would have used it. At I can do is to force stop it, should have known better than to install something from Microsoft.

    Hello Rob,

    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?

    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.

    I deactivated all its permisssions - then I went to playstore and voila it was open or uninstall - i got rid of it - this is a flagrant attempt by billy gates micromob to hijack android phones
