    I format my disk and install windows 10 again. I didn't install Skype but I use microsoft mail with my account that once for many years used with skype so popup very quick message that skype is activated.

    When I call the processors on my computer using the task manger I found the following and they return back every time I start my computer. How to get rid of them?

  3. 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?
