Stop Skype opening at start-up
Despite un-ticking the box next to Skype in the "Start up progs" and then restarting as prompted, the next time I boot up the box has a tick in it again and Skype opens to the task bar, how can I stop it from opening at start up permanently please.

Within Skype there is an option to start/not start at Windows start-up. Let Skype start, open it, then check the options.

This is how I did it. Open task Manager. Goto Start Up tab. Navigate to Skype and right click on Status column. Change this to disabled. OK out.

I've never had any problem with Skype forgetting these settings: Ken

Re: Stop Skype openeing at start-up
Thanks for the feed back. as shown my "Start-up" page does not have a "Status" field but does show Skype disabled 1/11/20 which I take to be 11th Jan but it still opens at start up which puzzles me. When I open Skype I can't see a "Settings" option
as per "Struck's" screenshot. Thanks

In keeping with most apps these days you access 'settings' by clicking on three dots. In Skype the dots are to the right of your name. I've highlighted them in this version of your image.
