#How to stop skype from running at startup windows 7 update#
It might be my laptop though - I have also run thinkvantage system update which also has its own update lists and host of issues. I guess it didn't completely uninstall AND my locked-down background app setting are causing skype to crash "the new skype". Skype can be set to automatically launch when your computer boots in to Windows 7, but if you prefer not to make use of this feature, it is easy to disable. I uninstalled skype for business because of some other issue which I don't remember now. In Windows 8 open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc or look in Apps under Windows System), select the Startup tab and if Skype appears on the list right-click the entry and select Disable. Side question: why are there 2 control panels and the list of what's installed different on each one. I don't see skype at all in control panel btw. So Lync is now Skype? I also have Office. I remember having 2 skypes installed, maybe 3? I can't recall now.

Another useful, yet carefully hidden-away tool. I'm thinking it's tightly integrated into office and there's another setting somewhere to disable it?Ĥ.

Skype will no longer start automatically. It's another hidden interface and black hole. Click on the Windows Start logo Go to the Settings Click on the Privacy Click on the Background apps that under the App permissions Background apps options appear on the right side of the screen. I had already deleted the shortcuts in startup but I double checked and nothing except onenote clipper which I use.Ģ. This is what I did (a combination of things):ġ.

I will try to download the old one and use that. If you reboot and Skype still starts or Skype is not on the list, then another program on the list or off it, is starting Skype. Locate anything referencing Skype and uncheck it. Thank you for the quick and highly useful responses. Got 'Start'- 'Run' (or Win key +R) and type in 'msconfig', then click 'OK'.
