    Weird Issue With Skype


    Something weird is happening with Skype and I don't understand why. Both me and my spouse have desktop computers running Windows 10, however I use insider program version and OS build version is a bit newer than hers. She has normal version, but up to date. We both had web version of skype, but I decided to use Microsoft store version. When uninstalling web versions and installing store versions, mine definitely got store version, I can tell by it's icon on the tray and interface inside, however her version still looks web version (same white title bar, same icon in tray) and when I checked versions of Skype, this is how it looks:

    Why it's like that?
