Here's what I did.
1. signed into my skype account on different computer, running 8.66. After a few minutes it automatically updated to 8.67, and still worked.
I left it running. Came back to this one and un-installed 8.67.
3. then downloaded the setup from skype.com
4. ran the setup, of course it acted like it was brand new. It stopped at first with nothing as it was before. The sign in window then opened with account options. This time it had an additional option to sign in with My MS account. I didn't choose that but instead moved to the armadillo409 accunt o unt. This time it indeead sign in and went through typicall options. Here's a funny thing. The version I'm on right now is version8.67.0.97. The version on the other computer is: 8.67.0.99,

The Store version and the Desktop version have the same interface but are technically different applications by the way. This issue should also be immune to which of those you run. I've logged in from both myself with the
same account.

Doug, can skype be re-installed by downloading the setup file and running it?
Haven't heard that suggestion yet.

Since this sounds then like a Microsoft issue, my next suggestion is the Skype Support page at https://support.skype.com/en/skype/all/
I was going to suggest the Disability Answer Desk, but that page says to go to the above page for Skype support and that the Answer Desk is not able to help with account issues.

That's honestly the sort of thing that would happen if the password is wrong or changed. Assuming the email address associated with the account still reaches you, you might try a password reset. I don't know why this issue
would coincide with a Skype update except that a Skype update of course forces Skype to restart.

I copied all of the speech history, it still fails to completely load. Tried
the options to sign in with Gary Jackson, armadillo409. And then tried signing
in with a different account and chose my account, armadillo409 but get the

password twice? It seems to be asking for it twice here.

I just updated to 8.67.0.99 without incident, but mine signs in automatically. Let me know if this one resolves itself; I wonder if it's something like a busy Microsoft server that caused your sign-in to fail temporarily.
