AskWoody PlusI have Win 10 with 2 Windows accounts—one my husband’s; the other mine…As of 8/7/20, every time I log onto my account I get the attached message regarding Skype…My husband does not get it when he logs onto his account…
When I look into Event Viewer, I find Adm Events Errors re Skype starting 8/6/20 immediately before a WinDef update….
Is Skype a necessary part of WinDef (update process) or any other process…???….I really don’t want Skype activated……I thought I had it deactived’……
I need help in deciding what to do about this…..And help with how……
Thank you in advance…….
