    Skype Keeps Requiring I Log In


    I've used Skype for years. It always worked well before Microsoft took over. Now it's one problem after another.

    Skype has begun asking me to log in after every restart (reboot). It didn't use to do that. I think this began after the latest update.

    Anybody know how to stop this?

    :)

  2. Skype Microphone echo only on 1 Win Pc

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

    Do let us know the troubleshooting steps that you have tried to resolve the issue?

    As the issue persists with the Skype app, I suggest you to try the below if not yet tried and check if it helps:

    • Try to log-in to Skype using different account on the same computer, access the microphone and check if the issue persists.
    • Try to log-in to Skype account on different computer using this account, access the microphone and check.

    Also try the below if the issue still persists.

    Step 1: I suggest you to run the Windows app troubleshooter to check if the issue persists.

    Refer: Run the troubleshooter for Windows apps

    If issue still persists,

    Step 2: Uninstall and re-install Skype from Windows Store.

    You can also uninstall Skype app from the Control Panel:


    • Press Windows + x key to open a task list from the bottom left corner of the screen.

    • Select Control Panel.

    • Select Programs and Features.

    • Right click on Skype
      and select uninstall and follow the onscreen instructions.

    Steps to Install Skype app:
    Log-in with administrator account, open
    Windows Store, search for Skype app and download latest version.

    Hope it helps. Reply to the post with an updated status of this issue, we will be happy to help you further.

  3. Completely disable skype on startup?

    Hi,

    To help us determine the troubleshooting steps to resolve your Skype startup concern, we'd like to ask the following:

    • What is the make and model of the device that you're using to log in?
    • Are you trying to log in on Skype or on Skype preview?
    • Which Skype application is running on your initial startup?

    We're looking forward to your response. Tagged as pending on customer.

  4. Skype Keeps Requiring I Log In

    Skype?

    As this is a now quite established messenger system of sorts perhaps a Skype feature for people skype names so perhaps some real time problem solving/discussions could be mounted?
    Just a wee suggestion.
    What does everyone else think?
