    Dear,

    I'm facing the same issue with Skype.

    Skype just crash and doesn't start.

    I tried to "repair" , "Reset", "uninstall", non of these methods works.

    When I start Skype on admin mode, Skype starts properly but finally crash after a few seconds.

    Thank you

    Hello,

    I have faced the same problem after updated my Windows10 to Windows11. I didn't want to reset it because of to lost my data in skype. So, I just downloaded latest version of Skype from below link and finally it works properly. I think you should try this may it works for you as well. :)

    Please go to the Skype Download page to install the latest version of Skype.

    Hi there,

    It worked like this for me:

Skype repair and reset

and then you must not change the microphone and speaker settings.
