Making Skype Sign in Automatically at Startup

Hi BerndStrauss,

Greetings from Skype!

Did you download Skype from Microsoft store? If so, then you're using Skype for Windows 10 (UWP) does not have this feature. I would suggest to install this version instead: https://endpoint920510.azureedge.net/s4l/s4l/download/win/Skype-8.36.0.52.exe

Once done, sign in > then click on the 3 dots > under General settings, make sure that automatic start up of Skype is enabled.

Should you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reply!

Thank you. I had downloaded Skype for Windows 10 from the official website.

I will try using the version which you have given to see whether it will be signing in automatically.

Hi BerndStrauss,

Thanks for the reply!

We are sad to inform you that there might be an unusual case happening on your Skype app that is why the automatic start up and sign in does not work. Nothing to worry, as we will raise this case to our engineering team. We will update you from time to time regarding with this issue.

Thanks for understanding the matter.

Skype for Windows 10 did not sign in automatically at startup in Windows 10 Home. I reinstalled the system to Windows Professional. Skype still does not sign in. (It signs in automatically a few times after I sign in manually. After that, I again have to sign in manually.) When I used Skype Classic several months ago, it always signed in in Windows 10.
