    How to I get the current version of Skype?


    Skype keeps threatening to abandon me if I don't upgrade to the latest version, but I can't figure out how.

    I found a typical Microsoft explanation that was of no value. I don't have a
    C:\Program Files\WindowsApps folder so the address they gave doesn't work. Classic Microsoft!

    New Skype Version Released

    Although, not one of my favourite programs, Skype is considered a high priority software application. The latest 3.5.0.239 release, is now available for download and it fixes some major bugs:
    • bugfix: Links with invalid % encodings were executed
    • bugfix: Data execution protection may have crashed Skype
    • bugfix: Pressing escape did not end call
    • Security improvements to ensure it is no longer possible to shut down Skype from a web page
    DOWNLOAD

  3. Completely disable skype on startup?

    This is factually incorrect for current Skype. This option is unavailable. There appears to be no way to disable Skype from automatically running in the current version of WIndows 10,

    I guess Microsoft knows better that we do what is good for us.
