Luckily, it’s easy to fix the issues in Windows as well. But, sometimes when it abruptly stops and doesn’t work properly, irritates the individual a lot. You can always download it again from the Microsoft Store.However, there is no doubt that Windows is the most loved operating system till the present date. Right-click the app in the apps’ list, and select the uninstall option. On that note, if you don’t use Skype at all, it might be a good idea to uninstall it. It gives the impression that there’s no way to turn it off. What makes things more complicated is the fact that Skype doesn’t show in Task Manager’s Startup tab. Some of the apps that it pushes are easy to ignore but Skype isn’t one of them. Microsoft will continue to push the apps it owns onto Windows 10 users. If you ever have to use Skype, make sure you enable background app activity for it. In Skype’s case, you may miss new message alerts though it’s unlikely that you will miss a call when it comes in. This may mean that you miss important notifications/alerts that an app sends. When an app is unable to run in the background, it cannot update until you open it, or refresh it manually. You will not get any alerts from the app.Īpps that run in the background do so for a reason they need to periodically check for push notifications.


Microsoft owns Skype, and it owns Windows 10.
