    Yours looks like the one from the Store which is the tile App (can't test, I uninstalled to avoid confusion). My version (screenshot, post 7) is 7.40.0.151 and I keep a separate one tied to my MS account that I use online by clicking Skype on msn.com homepage but your screener looks different from that too.

    So, the Q still is, what version of Skype are you using and how do you open it, in browser, click tile or open program ?

    I open from preinstalled apps on my laptop. And my profile is synced with my Microsoft account.

    I changed my name on my Microsoft account last night but it hasn't synced/updated on my Skype account.

    I figured it out. Had to go to the Skype website, edit profile and change it there. There's a 2nd "edit profile" button in the actual edit profile page that I must of missed previously.

    Thanks for everyone's help!
