How can we improve Microsoft Launcher (Preview)?

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".

  1. Keep asking for Accessibility permission for gesture

    Launcher keeps asking to activate accessibility in order to use swipe gestures etc, and the system promptly forgets it shortly after. MS launcher is the only accessibility that won't stay activated. I have a couple of other apps that need it and they have no problems.

  2. Difficult to reposition icons

    Moving the icons around the home screen is hard to control. They seem to have a mind of their own.

  5. Folder layout is limited into 3x3 in full screen mode

    In latest build when 'Show folders Full Screen' is enabled you only get a 3 x 3 grid which means what was once a single page has now become multiple pages. This is a nightmare. I now have to tap the folder and swipe multiple times to access apps that used to be right near my thumb along the bottom of the folder.

    If you want to preserve this pretty layout, at least give us the ability to control the grid size on our own.

  15. Why can't Preview inherit apps/Glance settings from existing Microsoft Launcher?

    I just don't understand why, during setup, Microsoft Launcher Preview can get apps from other launchers but NOT from Microsoft Launcher which was previously my default. Similarly, the Glance feed has not retained the settings of the Glance feed on Microsoft Launcher.

  17. Background automatically changes to Bing after setting custom image

    I set a custom image for the wallpaper and a different image as the lock screen. After a few minutes, both settings are changed to Bing daily wallpaper. This is obviously not expected, nor desired.
