Skype stuck at login screen

Skype stuck at login screen
I installed old version of skype and it worked but its forcing me to install the new version and this is where I end up with.

Extremely frustrated.  My clients are waiting for me.

Hi AntonSiribaddana
I am Vijay, an Independent Advisor. I am here to work with you on this problem.

You may need to go for Skype for Desktop, if you are using Store version of Skype. Use below method to uninstall and install Skype to solve this problem.

CTRL+SHIFT+ESC to invoke Task Manager > Kill any instance of Skype.exe

A. If this is UWP (Microsoft Store) Skype app of Windows - Windows Key+i > Apps > Click Skype and Uninstall
Install Skype again from Microsoft Store. You can install from https://www.microsoft.com/store/productId/9WZDN...

If above doesn't work -

Choose to install desktop client of Skype from and use Skype for Desktop https://go.skype.com/windows.desktop.download

B. If this is Skype for Desktop client
Copy the below line and Windows Key+R and paste into Run window by CTRL+V and Enter
%appdata%\microsoft\Skype for Desktop
Rename this folder also to something say Skype for Desktop_Old
Reinstall Skype again from https://go.skype.com/windows.desktop.download

Do let me know if you have any more question or require further help.
Sincerely yours,
