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?

    I had the same problem of uninstalling Microsoft Launcher on my android phone. Go to setting, to default applications, look for home and highlight ML, click trash to uninstall ML. After uninstall return to TouchWiz home, restart phone and it will return to your previous state or settings. Just my 2 cents!! Hope it helps!!

    Microsoft is of course a big heartless corporation, so it's only natural that it wouldn't think hijacking consumers' phones is a big deal.  And that's exactly what is happening to millions of us.

    Thanks for nothing.  I will do without this piece of crap.

    I think I found a way to remove it.  This worked for me.  Go to Google Play, find Microsoft Launcher.  The uninstall button should be active.  Then uninstall it.  Hope this helps.

    Yup.  That did it.  

    It took me a while to understand that it's an application that runs as a sort of desktop.  

    Thanks.
