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?

2018-04-05T14:07:02+00:00 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.

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