Windows 10: Skype's strange behaviour

Win 10 Pro now ver 1909 build 18363.720
I have used Skype over different OS and got the latest version when I installed 10 over a year ago. It didn't work well as an App, so I adopted the Desktop version when prompted a few months later. Since then it has been working OK but recently it showed some odd behavior whenever I tried to answer a new call. Every time I had to quit Skype and restart it and then it would work.
When I looked at Task Manager I found a string of entries instead of just the one I expected!
As it all seemed so slow anyway I used the DISM/CMD repair system and that found a defective file. That was yesterday and today I installed Skype again and it seemed faster and when I looked at TM again there was only one entry.

Nobody is online at the moment, but attempting a call seems to be working correctly.

BUT, the single Skype entry in TM now has to expand to show similar multiple entries as in the screenshot. Why is that? Is it a defect or not? (I see that today Skype has a Meet Now tab which wasn't there before!)

Cortana's Strange Behaviour After Creator's Edition Update

Interestingly, my Cortana also presents such a list, no numbers.

Try 'The first' 'The second' etc.

...which works well, until.... the list of available options extends beyond the box as here:




So this British English-sounding voice starts reading them 'Which Minitool do you wanna open...'

And reads the list...after which I see




Oh, come on Microsoft, this is as pathetic as your start menu, where I see



- these shortcuts, each for a different program, being taken from the folders of 2,3,or 4 per program in my nested start menu.

Which is one of a number of reasons I choose to use Classic Shell start menu which actually works. Reliably.

 

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?
