It happends for me also, exactly as you described.

In order to solve it, to know how much I need to wait until Skype is working again, I use to press Alt+1, then move the focus to other applications and work in them for a while, and then return to Skype after a minute or so and check its status. If Skype is working, the focus should be on a contact in the contacts list, and I just need to press Enter on it, then tab to move from there, then Shift+tab to move back to that contact, and press Enter a second time. After this, Skype is working and the focus usually goes to the message text field and I need to press Shift+tab twice to move to the list of chat messages. Skype is always working bad after I restart my laptop, but I use to restart my laptop only once in a few weeks. It is also working bad after I leave it unused for a longer time period in a day, so this way of using it is normal for the new Skype made by Microsoft. --Octavian

If I probe at it too much, it may even freeze JAWS for a while. This happens while Skype is collecting its data, syncing, etc., I think. Since I have a fairly large contact list, there can be some considerable activity for Skype to complete for this. When it's done though, I get the normal interface, Tab works, etc. If Skype starts when you start your computer, chances are that Windows itself, and maybe a number of other apps, simultaneously do this sort of massive update routine. Put together, that can cause quite a period of sluggish computer behavior. I'm not sure if this is what you two are seeing, but if it goes away by itself after a while, I'd say it's likely. "A while," though, may be a minute or a bit more sometimes. Usually, on my current laptop, I don't see anything that long. Btw, I also see this sort of sluggishness in other Electron-based apps besides Skype 8, notably Microsoft Teams and Slack. Again though, I don't see it all the time; just now and then, usually after I have left the app unattended for a while.

I have not used skype for a long time and when I opened it, I am no longer able to navigate the program. When I check the name of the program, it just says skype home. When I do a say line, it says file button menu If I press alt plus F, it says context menu. The highlighted option is quit - control plus q This is the only option available. Pressing the alt key does nothing. The tab button and arrow keys have no functionality. I installed the scripts, but still have same negative issue. I re-installed the scripts, which removed the pre-existing scripts, but still I can’t navigate within skype. thanks for any productive assistance. Virus-free.
