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?

    Thank you for your answer - very helpful.

    I too thought I was simply wirelessly linking with my PC and I too experienced to total hijacking of my phone by Windows - it has taken me hours to reset things.  Definitely not happy.

    Again, thanks for the tips.
