On top of that, the communication reached the next level as the members of the chat/call can see each other using a front camera of the device. However, various issues with the application came to the light recently. The emergence of this tool changed the way of online communication radically as people were provided with an ability to contact friends and relatives from the other “corner” of the globe for free and in a very fast way. Most probably, Skype is one of the applications used every day by billions of PC users.
Be aware that MS-Config is a powerful tool that can easily land you a whole lot of trouble if you start randomly messing with settings, so the advice is don’t, unless you know what you’re doing.To repair damaged system, you have to purchase the licensed version of Reimage Reimage. Then you will get restart confirmation message for System Configuration Restart, asking to re-boot now or later for your changes to take effect.Īfter your machine restarted, you will not get Skype at windows startup. Un-check “Skype” from that list and click Apply and then OK button. You may need to sort by name (click on the column heading) in order to find it. Select the Startup tab, and you will get the list of Windows start up applications. You can still use the Run command window to open msconfig.exe. MSConfig is the Windows system configuration tool.Ĭlick and open “msconfig.exe”, and you will get “System Configuration” dialog Window. Since the latest version of the Skype application has no option provided to turn off Skype at Windows startup you need a different route.Ĭlick the start menu and either using Search programs and files, “msconfig” or just type “msconfig.exe” directly. So if you don’t want Skype running all the time, how do you prevent it starting up as part of the computer’s booting up process? Note to Microsoft don’t annoy us Northerners.
I just don’t want it hogging resources all the bloody time. And it is occasionally useful for messaging and video conferencing. Unfortunately the Malicious Software Removal Tool won’t get rid of it. In fact, alongside the in-stream advertising and the removal of the log of calls made, duration, destination and cost, Skype now behaves like the worst kind of malware. Nor does it sit in your Start Up Programmes folder. Ever since Microsoft took over Skype, it installs automatically with Internet Explorer, starts itself at boot time and is impossible to stop from the Skype client as there is no longer an option in the settings to do so.
