  1. How to actually USE the Shell Launcher feature?


    Well... at least I turned it on?

    Read through a completely messy and half illegible article on Microsoft on how to turn on the feature... yet it fails to just give a simple step by step or numbered instruction on how to actually use it.

    Are there any articles or YouTube videos that don’t talk about the features on and on and on and just say the steps to deploy a program for a user account?

    Given that those feature seems to only launch a single application in place of explorer.exe, I don’t see why it’s not in the shell launcher article itself, with the user replacing whatever example.program they’re using with their own.

    There’s a lot of workarounds, third party “launchers”, etc. that all seem to do this, but that seems even more redundant given that this should be an easy to use, simple built in feature. Why I can’t seem to find a button that simply says “select user” and “select application” is beyond me, either I’m not seeing it or they left it out. Either way, I need to find a step by step (non cluttered, redundant, or just messy page) or tutorial video on how to do it at this point.

  2. Microsoft launcher

    Hi AustinNeely\,

    Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Community. May we ask if what troubleshooting you have tried? We highly suggest you to try the steps below.

    • Restart your phone.
    • If the issue persists after restarting your phone, it only means that the default launcher is needed for any other launchers to work properly. Re-installing the default launcher should resolve the issue.

    Once your Android phone is back on its default settings, re-install the Microsoft Launcher and your other apps.

    Note: You can easily restore your Microsoft Launcher settings if you have performed a back up. To back up your Microsoft Launcher settings, please do the following:

    1. Launch the Microsoft Launcher settings. (Tap and hold your phone's home screen and tap on the
      Launcher Settings.)
    2. Tap Back up & Restore.
    3. Tap Back up Microsoft Launcher option.
    4. Confirm that the Back up to cloud storage option is selected.
    5. Tap the Back up button.
    6. Check the settings that you want to back up.
    7. Tap the Back up now button.

    You may restore your Microsoft Launcher back up after re-installing it.

    If you can no longer re-install your phone's default launcher, please get in touch with its manufacturer for assistance on how you can reset it to its factory settings.

    Kind Regards,

    Rom G.
