Skype and Windows 10 - GoFuckYourself.com

Just learned the people at Microsoft don't talk to each other.

The guys who wrote Windows 10, have buggered Skype and it's ability to show New Friends Requests. And the people in the Skype dept haven't told them they need to fix it.

Anyone know a quick fix?

I use a Mac mostly, but I think you can do that through the web interface live.Com / Hotmail etc. As Skype works on the web too.

Well, not talking from direct experience, but I did have a problem with the packaged Skype that came on windows 8, I downloaded the separate program and used that and had no problems.

Paul, can you download the Skype program individually? Try that if it's similar to the problem I had to my windows 8 problem.

I've had no problem with skype and windows 10. In fact the only issue I had was with sound and that self resolved.

I had exactly the same.. it seems you have 2 skype versions already in the windows package..
a normal one and a wifi version but they both work shitty..

Download a separate one via their website!
