I have Skype 2016 for Business shows version 16.0.4266.1001 32 bit - on a Win10 systems running either Office 2010 (32 bit) or Office 2016 (32 bit). I want to increase the Skype version. I can increase Office 2010 version for example, but Skype stays the same..
These updates do not update Skype 2016:

Any inks to something that will change the Skype 2016 version ?
I tested this in my lab. The result is the same as yours. It seems that there is something wrong with the package.
Also, I did not find other useful link to update Skype for Business 2016 client.

The reason for this problem is because the Help > About tells you the version in regard to a specific DLL, but not the lync.exe version. You need to go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16\lync.exe, right click > select Properties, and select the Details tab.
Thanks for the reply. So this helps me with version numbers, but is there a solution to the initial problem of a black window over the top of a single presented program, when wanting to work without notice to the audience in the background ?
@Skype228 ,
I'm glad that my reply is help. Please feel free to accept it as answer to help more people with the same doubt.
About the black window question, I will reply in it's thread. Just now, I get some updates. Few minutes later, I will send the information to you. Thanks for your understanding.
Many Thanks for your help. So how do I eliminate the black rectangle window showing over the program I only want the audience to see. Do I need to turn off the Windows Peek feature ?
I have never seen the Pop Up when you showed appearing when Presenting a Program in Skype.
Have you replied in another thread here also ?
@Skype228 ,
I didn't find a way to eliminate the black rectangle now.
I will search for more information about this problem. If there is any update, I will share with you as soon as possible.
Have a nice day!
Many Thanks. It would be nice to find a solution.
@Skype228 ,
I hope so. Currently, it has no good solution.
