    Latest Skype doesn't have "quit" feature


    OK, checked and the version downloaded (from MS Store) into my friend's computer last night is 8.34.01.82 which should be the latest. After two chat conversations with Skype Support (either AI or human, not sure, because in both chats got some incorrect info which humans could also provide, so re: Turing Test, could be human or AI) .... easily turning Skype TOTALLY off is problematic and unclear.

    First this latest Skype 8.34.01.82 / App 8.34 does NOT have a right-click "quit" feature in Taskbar icon (not possible to have a Skype icon per se in Desktop, only an ersatz "Document-type" icon labeled Skype link). It can be "turned off" by clicking the red X box in upper rt. corner of the Skype window .... according to the AI/humans, a new "feature". Checking in Task Manager usually showed Skype off, that is, not present in running task list. However a few times there were TWO Skype tasks in "Suspended" mode with zero usage ("0") with an indication of some waiting input link, looking to me like an open radio channel (i.e., WiFi, which I have always turned off, using ONLY Huawei Mobile Partner over cellular data network through local Internet provider, prepaid). When I clicked "end task", then no Skype activity, "suspended" or not, showed up in Task Manager in subsequent on/off tests during that session.

    The AI/human told me that the X-click was replacing "quit", but I see that is not always true. Is there any easy work-around way to simply get this latest version of Skype to QUIT now? My version, updated a month ago through Kaspersky STILL has the "quit" rt-click Taskbar icon option ....

    :)

  3. 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?
