Windows 10: Skype disappeared from pinned contacts on Taskbar

For years, since the feature launched, I have pinned frequent contacts to my Taskbar from the Taskbar People button for instant access to them via Skype. Sometime in the past few days, Skype disappeared from the list of apps in the People taskbar app see image below. Skype is working fine by itself and the other options, People and Mail, also still work fine from my pinned contacts. I've searched and not found a single other report of this issue, but I admit with such generic terms as People, Contacts, Taskbar, and Skype, it might just be that there are too many other issues on other subjects to find other reports of this particular problem.


I have tried resetting Skype and People and uninstalling and reinstalling Skype can't uninstall People, but still no Skype option from my pinned contacts. When I click the option "Get more apps in the Store" it shows Skype as already installed, so that's a dead end too.


Has anyone else seen this? Any suggestions how to fix and restore Skype to my pinned contacts?

Clear "Pin suggested" list in People Bar

Does anybody know how to clear the "Pin suggested" list on the "People bar"?

Contacts are added to the "Pin suggested" list once you've pinned and unpinned them. But there seems to be no obvious way to remove them from that list.

After playing around with this feature and pinning and unpinning many dummy contacts, it's rather annoying to see them in the "Pin suggested" list when you click on the "My People" icon in the taskbar.

 

Clear "Pin suggested" list in People Bar

Thanks Josey Wales,

I can pin and unpin People contacts to the taskbar without problems, but these contacts will still show up on the "Pin suggested" list. It's this list I want to clear, because some contacts or double and some are dummy contacts. It's not that big of a deal, but it's rather annoying to have them suggested to me.

 

Skype has disappeared

Could you possibly right click the taskbar icon after launching and pin to taskbar?
