Windows 10 Home Edition
I uninstalled skype and rebooted and CCleaner software updater still shows skype needs to be updated.
So i chose to update it and ccleaner reinstalled it. Then it was gone from the update list.
Then i went into windows and uninstalled skype again, and now its back on the ccleaner list as it needs updated. How do i remove it from ccleaner program update list?
Thanks :) dave
Builtin skype in windows 10?
There are a couple of reports of the same thing, and I'm seeing it myself on one machine.
Skype is now installed as standard with Windows, and so as Nergal say it is more or less built-in to Windows now.
For whatever reason the CCleaner Software Updater is now still seeing some remnant of Skype after it has been uninstalled, and so thinks that you still have it installed.
I’m not sure if that’s started happening because a change that Windows has made, or a change to the CCleaner Software Updater?
Not that it really matters here, whatever has changed it’s happening.
I'd suggest that you just reinstall Skype and then ignore it.
That’s what I’m going to do on that machine where I’m seeing this.
Let's face it Windows puts a lot of 'standard' apps on our machines that most of us will never use, 3D Builder, Game Bar, Mixed Reality Portal, etc, etc. not forgetting the whole 'Windows Accessories' section.
Skype is just another one of those ‘standard’ apps now, so even if you never use it I’d just leave it there and ignore it.
Ok great thank you both, i will put it back and ignore it.... :)
Is me too allowed.
Windows 11 Just ran into this issue. Dear Microsoft flippin’ remove what I the user want to remove (all of it!!!). Dear CC Please remove the MS Dross that they have left behind after supposedly removing with Add/Remove.
Not the first to suggest/request options in both Updater modules to FORGET for say 1 month, 1 year, indefinite?
Seems like this is pretty standard - even in Windows Update !!
Skype will be retired in May 2025, impacting both free and paid consumer users, not Skype for Business. To prepare, users can migrate to Microsoft Teams Free, which offers similar features and automatically transfers contacts and chats. Existing calling and Skype Number subscriptions will continue to renew until April 3, 2025, and the Skype Dial Pad will be available to paid users on the Skype web portal and within Teams Free.
How do I Uninstall Skype for Business on Windows 11/10?
To uninstall Skype for Business, you can use two things – Windows Settings and third-party software uninstaller. If you use Windows Settings, you need to press Win+I to open it, go to Apps > Apps & features. Here you can find the Skype for Business app listed. Select it and click the Uninstall button. Following that, you need to confirm the removal by clicking the Uninstall option again.
How do I completely remove Skype from my computer?
To completely remove Skype from your computer, you must use a third-party software uninstaller. There are plenty of tools available for this purpose, and you can use any one of them. For example, you can use the Revo Uninstaller, CCleaner, etc. Do not forget to scan your computer for leftovers after uninstalling the app on your PC. Otherwise, corresponding files will stay on your PC.
