Android Central Question
Microsoft Launcher was installed this morning 11/20/2017. How do I uninstall it and when I uninstall it I want all my previous settings restored back including icons etc.
Welcome to the forums. What device do you have? You could try this. First make sure to enable your stock launcher back (the right steps will depend on your model and version of android), then go to settings - security - device administrator and uncheck Microsoft Launcher. Finally, in settings - apps select MS launcher - force stop - clear data and uninstall. Tell us how it goes.
Thanks for registering! What device do you have? You could also try uninstalling that app after booting in safe mode.Unfortunately, the "Uninstall" in Settings is greyed out in when Microsoft Launcher is installed, even if I have forced stop. So--how do I uninstall without that option in the basic settings? Is there an advance way to do this?
Excellent! Glad you figured it out and thanks for the follow up! It'll be very helpful for other members with a similar problem.I discovered how to do it. Go into microsoft launch and --> remove all permissions. Then and only then will the "uninstall" work.
