Skype for desktop 8.62.0.83 - Launch Skype in the background

Ever since my PCs updated to Skype for desktop version 8.62.0.83, "Launch Skype in the background" toggle in settings no longer works.  Regardless if the setting is on or off, Skype always starts with the window open and not minimized in the taskbar.  This occurs across several PCs.  Is there any solution for this or do I just need to wait for the next update?

Thanks!

Answer

The latest Skype for Desktop 8.62.0.83 version does not respect the Launch in the background settings on any Windows computer.

 

Exactly the same behaviour (misbehaviour!) is exhibited by the latest Skype Insider Preview 8.62.76.62 version.

 

This feature is broken in all currently available 8.62 versions.
