  1. Skype no longer starts with DCOM error


    Whenever I try to start the Skype Windows 10 app the app closes immediately and drops the following into the System event long:


    The server Microsoft.SkypeApp_14.40.70.0_x64__kzf8qxf38zg5c!App.AppX83nfr1wxf8k71mee5c2w5x6mbn0f3kng.mca did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.


    I've tried:

    -resetting the app

    -reinstalling the app from the store

    -doing a reset of Windows.


    I'm running Windows 10 Pro (not N edition).


    Any ideas? Getting close to punting and using the more-reliable Skype for Desktop app.

    :)

    Skype starts with boot


    When you open Skype not on does it appear on screen, an icon also shows on Taskbar as shown.
    Follow my earlier instruction right clicking on task bar icon, then clicking on QUIT SKYPE, this renders it inactive
    It will not start again until you click on Skype to open, then when finished again click QUIT SKYPE.
    Do this each time you finish using Skype.
    Then Skype will no longer appear on taskbar until you reopen it.

  3. Skype not starting

    "If that does not work, I recommend you use the desktop app.

    Getting started | Download, install, and upgrade - Skype Support

    https://support.skype.com/en/skype/windows-desk..."

    Any chance we can get this working the DCOM is not registering proeperrly and its a real pain using the OLD skype. This ahppened after 1709 feature update.

    There doesnt seem to be any solution, the scripts dont work.

    It looks like a typical misleading error from MS.

    Nothing else to try?

    Skype no longer starts with DCOM error

    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
