the system would ask me to pick a launcher everytime i hit the home button

This was found to be related the Digital Wellbeing app, that if disabled would stop that.

Keeps asking which launcher to use

hi again, I started seeing a pattern that issue occurs around my Digital Wellbeing bedtime settings (evening and morning) and started suspecting the app. I’m not clear how much this is a standalone app and how much part of the system settings, but what helps me is to go to Google Play and click ‘Uninstall’. It will not uninstall it fully, but will leave ‘Update’ button available. I don’t click it, but at some point Google will update it again. Until Google does, I no longer get launcher prompts…
