Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

I understand the inconvenience that you are unable to close Skype app on your computer, we will help you with this issue.

I suggest you to uninstall and re-install the latest version of Skype on your device and check.

Method 1: Remove the earlier versions of the Skype and then install the latest version.

Step 1: Uninstall Skype from the Start Screen:

  On the Start screen, type
  Skype.
  
• 
  From the list select Skype and right click on it.
  
• 
  You will get different options on the screen .Select
  Uninstall.
  

Step 2: You can also uninstall a program from the Control Panel:

• 
  Press Windows + x key to open a task list from the bottom left corner of the screen.
  
• 
  Select Control Panel. Click on
  Programs.

Unable to Install Skype

I have a windows tab that I upgraded several months back from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. I never used Skype since I bought the tab.

I tried using Skype today, on the Skype Video app which had been installed during the upgrade. I was unable to get my webcams running on the app. So I tried uninstalling the app and installing the desktop version of Skype.

I downloaded the Skypesetup.exe file from the Skype website. But once this file is run, the installation process continues endlessly with the green bar continuously running in the progress bar. I have a 100 MBPS connection, so the internet speed is definitely
not the issue.

I also tried a compatibility troubleshoot as suggested on some forum, but that has also not helped.

 

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?
