Hello,
Can you please let me know the options/changes that you're missing or would like to see on the Surface Duo that aren't currently showing up for you, using the Microsoft Launcher?
Thank you,
Roy S.

I have a Surface Duo.
The version number of Microsoft Launcher on the Duo is the same as that on my Sony Xperia 1 ii but other than that they may might as well be two separate apps.
The Duo version is severely limited and allows only minimal changes to be made. I cannot uninstall it either.
The version on my Xperia has a multitude of options.
why is this? I do not use the Duo for work. It is not linked to any business account. It is for personal use only.
How can I enable the same options as found on my smartphone ?
Help!

2021-05-29T08:48:15+00:00 well, the version on the Duo is cut down and lacks almost all of the features of the version on my smartphone. I would like to be able to remove the business elements of the Duo software and install the standard version. i want to be able to remove the dock.

Thank you for your feedback on the Dock.
As far as the business elements, are these the widgets you see on the glance screen when scrolling to the far left, or something different?
If you are referring to the widgets on the far left, you can scroll to the bottom of the screen and edit which widgets you would like to see. Or are you looking to turn off this screen entirely?

It does not appear in the app tray either. It is a very cut-down version of the app that I have on my smartphone and offers almost zero options. I would like to be able to install the standard version of the Launcher that is found in the app store at Google.
