Skype suddenly disabled from startup apps

Question

Hi

Any ideas whats going on. Seemingly some time after every restart Skype gets disabled. Why? (Windows 10 20H2)

Answer 1

Maybe you can check in Settings :

[Win] + "R"

then

ms-settings:startupapps

Answer 2

Microsoft is replacing Skype for Business with Teams

Skype for consumer has a new feature in 20H2 called Meet Now on the task bar. Do you see this?

Hi,
By default, Skype will start automatically when Windows starts. You can change this setting.

Run Skype for Business.
Click the gear icon to open the Options dialog box.
(If you click the arrow next to the gear, you will need to select Tools, then Options.)
In the list on the left, click Personal.
On the right, under My account, you'll see a checkbox for Automatically start the app when I log on to Windows.
Check this to have the app start automatically.
Uncheck this to prevent the app from starting automatically.
Click OK.

Hope above information can help you.
