    Seems like any time the launcher gets foregrounded, it crashes and resets. I'm running on a S21 Ultra with Android 11. When I look at logcat in real time, I see the following:

    02-14 20:36:40.203 E/WindowManager(1233): win=Window{aeebcce u0 com.microsoft.launcher/com.uservoice.uservoicesdk.activity.ForumActivity} destroySurfaces: appStopped=true win.mWindowRemovalAllowed=false win.mRemoveOnExit=false win.mViewVisibility=8 caller=com.android.server.wm.ActivityRecord.destroySurfaces:5203 com.android.server.wm.ActivityRecord.destroySurfaces:5184 com.android.server.wm.ActivityRecord.notifyAppStopped:5243 com.android.server.wm.ActivityRecord.activityStopped:5871 com.android.server.wm.ActivityTaskManagerService.activityStopped:2578 android.app.IActivityTaskManager$Stub.onTransact:2201 android.os.Binder.execTransactInternal:1195

    I had the same issue. Further debugging revealed that the issue happens because I had enabled "force allow apps on external storage" a while ago. As a result Launcher was getting installed on removable media (SD card). When the device was entering in deep sleep it would unmount the storage (that is my guess) causing app to crash

    Same issues as other people have voiced. Screen freezes. Bounces me off games that then goes back to the start. Resets all my settings for keyboard and predictive text. Very annoying. And if chatting on the phone sometimes stops the phone call mid conversation 🙄

    The launcher freezes all the times, even a few days in the same day and it's impossible to use it unless I force stop the app and also I use double tap to put the device to sleep but it keeps asking me to give accessibility permission all the time.

    it's been happening to me since sometime after I installed the May 7th 2020 update. although I don't use the Samsung One UI launcher, I noticed that launcher installed an update sometime around when Microsoft launcher started crashing. It might have just been a coincidence, and to be clear I never use the Samsung one UI launcher, but I can't uninstall the Samsung launcher to take that out of the equation.
