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?

    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.

    ANDROID USERS: 

    It took about fifteen seconds after installing "Microsoft Launcher" to realize "NOPE". I went to default apps, in setting and found it, all the was available was Force Stop which when clicked did nothing, 

    Uninstall is there but greyed out. Right? this is your issue? You want the solution? 

    Well come to my site at ..... nah jk jk

    What I found is that if you go to the top (I have galaxy note 8) and click the three dots you'll see "Uninstall for ALL users." Click that and its gone, all you're left with the **** Bing wallpaper. 

    Hope this helps, make sure to click that it helped you to others can find it.

    Just make the uninstall link in application manager available. Simple. PLEASE do so ASAP.

    If you have an android phone, you can find the Microsoft launcher in the play store and uninstall it there!

    I found the answer to my own question - you have to change the launch wizard from Microsoft launcher to something else, then you can uninstall it !
