Stills shows skype after uninstall


Recommended Posts

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?

 

ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION

DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.

Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark)

ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

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.
