| 1436563 | 2017-06-19 22:30:00 | How are other PC form members reacting to this "upgrade". I installed the upgrade from V 7.36 (which worked fine). Results My prepaid Call acct with a balance of E6.38 was wiped. I have had several Contacts Lists - faulty . My preset up one disappeared. I tried to create a new List -did so . but then when I added a new Nr on one person it allowed me to request them to accept me for Skype and the next person I added did not allow me to send them that request.. Skype Free calling , video etc is greyed out. I am also on Microsoft Community Forum and that is full of complaints from disgusted members about this new "improved" version. I tried reinstalling an older version but it too takes one to the New installation window. Last night in desperation I tried a System Restore only to find System Restore wont work -error 0x80070091 which I now know from MS Forum is an MS error from a previous Win update. The problem was advised long ago to MS but they are not addressing it. The HELP tab on Skype is full of guidance but as per usual -not properly tested. Comments please |

| 1436564 | 2017-06-19 23:40:00 | Is this the modern app version of Skype? I tried it and didn't like it so I'm sticking with the classic desktop version as long as possible | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1436565 | 2017-06-20 10:25:00 | Hi dugimodo. I only use(d) Skype from my Desktop. If I understand your post you successfully managed to revert to the prior version. How did you manage to accomplish that successfully? Tonight MS has a post on the MS Forum for Skype advising "sorry we are trying to fix Skype access for users so system is down" |

| 1436566 | 2017-06-20 12:49:00 | I maybe just never updated to the version you are having problems with, I was referring to the desktop version vs the windows 10 metro app style version. The metro one seemed less featured to me, there was no need to revert as I have both installed and just stopped using the one I don't like. Desktop version here www.skype.com The other one seems to be built into windows these days, but I don't like it so I ignore its existence. |
