    Hi There

    Hi.
    I've got a Dell Inspiron W10 Home x64 system here with Avast and Skype installed fresh yesterday. Skype is working fine, and pictures are downloading. I don't know what you mean by resetting Skype, but I would completely uninstall it. Then, I would go to Control Panel>Programs and Features, select Avast, and select MODIFY, then uninstall all but the features shown here:

    Then, I would reinstall Skype and see if the problem is resolved.

    Let us know how it goes.

    I fixed it I think, but i'll redo Avast features anyways shortly here, and fix that up as well. Only other component I don't have unchecked right now is home network security, but will fix that up right away, and be all set I think

    The only thing the network security scan does is check to see if you've changed the default password for your router.

    Well Friend stated he wasn't seeing my pictures I sent, or he sent, cause of spybot windows 10 telemetry blocker he had installed, all the trouble shooting I did, and wasn't even on my end lol.

    Will fix Avast shortly here just gotta finish a few tasks, then will get that done, and think all set now

    Tell your Friend to get rid of Spybot altogether and use something more well-respected, like MBAM and SuperAntiSpyware, and stop worrying about Windows Telemetry.

    Please mark the thread as solved. Cheers!
