How to completely close Skype in Windows 10

Skype is one of the popular Microsoft applications which allows us to link our Hotmail or Outlook account and start conversations as friends, family, co-workers or create meetings in a simple, secure and fully functional way..

 

 

Skype works in Windows 10 as a process that is able to run in the background, that is, when we close Skype it will remain active in a hidden way, so when a notification or message arrives we will continue to receive it as a visual or auditory notification, this can be annoying if we close Skype for privacy issues.

 

To close Skype completely when we click Close, TechnoWikis will tell you that you must do which is something really simple..

The changes are made automatically so that we can close the Skype settings pop-up.

 

Step 4

After this it is ideal to make the adjustment in Settings so that Skype does not start with the computer, this especially because it can have a negative impact on access to Windows 10, to configure this we will go to the following route:
  • Start
  • Setting
  • Applications
  • Start

 

There we click on the "Skype" switch to disable it with the Windows 10 login:

So we have forced the complete closure of Skype in Windows 10. In this way the app will be completely closed..
