Windows 10: Skype will not open

Skype 8.34 will not open on my friend's new HP EliteBook 840 G5

have downloaded it, uninstalled, removed from registry, downloaded again, installed, but will NOT open or run

:)

 

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?
