disable skype startup

davidhk said:

Yes. That is the best choice.

thanks guys, I uninstalled the skype app that Microsoft just quietly bestowed upon us.
I don't even have a mic or webcam on this desktop.

Not sure what you mean.
Skype requires user to sign in first.

And therein lies the problem. I use my Admin account to install programs (including Skype) and I use my regular account to use these programs. I don't want to sign in into Skype under Admin. Consequently, I have no access to full Skype options and can't disable automatic startup that way.

I just use Auto runs to delete Skype startup entry in Admin profile.

Someone can help me ? How i can stop to autoexecute the "Skype Preview" ??

I have both... the "old" Skype app and this stupid things....... i set on Desktop App to not start Skype at windows logon but now this "Skype Preview" it's appears on recent WIndows 10 Anniversay edition and apparently it's impossible to stop it to autoexecutes and autologin on boot..........

Yes I can.

Open an administrator powershell window any put this in.

Code:

$app="Microsoft.SkypeApp"
Get-AppXProvisionedPackage -Online |
where DisplayName -EQ $app |
Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online

The normal Skype is better then the new "app" version.

Not the same (if you look at the tutorial). If you uninstall the app from start menu it in-installs it for your user only.

If you use the Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage it removes it for all users (including new ones) and deletes the package from "C:Program Files\WindowsApps"

Ah ok... at this point i do immediatelly... i only need to know how i can open an "administrator powershell"...

*EDIT*
I need to put line-by-line or i can copy and paste all line directly ?

*EDIT 2*
This is what's i obtain.... i have paste all line directly:

Code:

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> $app="Microsoft.SkypeApp"
Get-AppXProvisionedPackage -Online |
where DisplayName -EQ $app |
Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online


Path          : 
Online        : True
RestartNeeded : False




PS C:\WINDOWS\system32>
