skype update problems
Gary Jackson
Hey all,
My skype just updated to version: 8.67.0.99, and it has not let me sign in yet, after many tries. Is anybody else having trouble? It says that Doug Lee's scripts are loaded but I am not able to gwet to anything such as chat list. Gary

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.

Same here, complete with test call, and messaging. It all seems
to be working here as well.

Hi guys, I personally received a notification in Skype which was not very accessible, but after clicking I got updated to 8.67.0.99 without problems. What I noticed though is that in latest period they released many hotfixes for Skype 8.67, though apparently for Windows only.

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 same results. Here's the history. BTW, did you guys have to enter your password twice? It seems to be asking for it twice here.

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.

All I did was click on the notification thing, and let it install automatically. It should load when I restart, which I haven't tried 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.

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

I was just thinking about that.

Uninstall it, go to www.skype.com and download it direct. I've done that with other versions and it seemd to work.

I doubt a reinstall changes a login issue since credentials would be remotely validated; but yes, you should be able to remove Skype and reinstall it.

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.
