Very often, users have situations,at which Skype does not open. Why does this happen? What to do in this case? To understand all this is not so easy as it seems. After all, problems with computer software can happen for a variety of reasons. And it is extremely difficult to foresee them. No one is insured from the studied problem. Typically, users usually go through all the possible options and try to remedy the situation. What are the reasons for the fact that Skype refused to start?
"Curve" setting
The first variant of the development of events is far from the mostdangerous. This is an incorrect installation of the application. It is after it does not open "Skype". Or it starts to malfunction. Initialization of this type is also called a "curve". Why is this happening? Even minor glitches and failures that occurred during the installation of the application may cause this problem. As a result, Skype will not start. Or will start to bugger. Fix the situation easily and simply - just remove the program and reinstall it. It is recommended that you do not perform any actions on the computer during the initialization. Is Skype still not open? Then the reasons can be in another.
Old version
For example, the fact that the user installed himselfIn principle, the version of the application is already inactive. Usually only the latest software assemblies are posted on the official website of Skype. Sometimes users use existing installers that have been downloaded for a long time. Hence the problem. Typically, in this case, the application will issue a warning that it is necessary to update due to the lack of support for the previously installed version of the program. Does the computer not open Skype? What to do? Listen to the recommendations that the operating system will give out and update the application. There are no other options. You do not have to install the latest version. Just pay attention to the fact that the initialized software is supported in principle.
After update
What else should I pay attention to?"Skype" is an application that often fails to work. And users should know how to cope with a particular problem when contacting the software. Sometimes it happens that the Skype window does not open right after the update. Here, users are offered a number of solutions. What exactly will prove to be the most effective can not be said with certainty.
First, you can just restart the computer.Sometimes this method works. Typically, after any initialization or upgrade, you must restart the operating system. Secondly, you can try to completely uninstall the program, then manually reinstall it. Often automatic updates cause failures in Skype. Therefore, many do not recommend using this too often.
Thirdly, one clever trick is suggested.It's about removing your account from the application system. Often this step solves the problem with the launch of the program. Does Skype not open? Then you will have to find the folder% Appdata% / Skype. There you must select a folder with the name of the user account and click the delete button. Now you just need to start the program and enter your login and password in the appropriate fields.
Drivers
Does Skype not open? Gives an error message?Or does the user generally have a "blue screen of death"? Then you can try to reinstall the driver. Especially, if it turned out to see what exactly caused the malfunction. This information is encrypted on the "blue screen of death".
Reinstalling drivers is the key to success withthe launch of most programs. You can simply update to the latest versions. It is also recommended to install or update ActiveX, JavaScript and DirectX. After that, you can restart the computer (this is important), and then try to start "Skype". Most likely, the problem will disappear. Especially if the "blue screen of death" was able to identify equipment that required updating the drivers. Still does not open "Skype"? What to do? The most common options are not so many as it seems!
Viruses
The next reason for the problem isinfection of the operating system with viruses. The most common scenario. It is because of some viruses that the computer software refuses to work in full. "Skype" can not start or work with interruptions. How to be? It's enough to cure the computer - the problem will go away by itself. It will be necessary to perform an in-depth scan of the system by antivirus programs. Further all potentially dangerous objects are treated (for this purpose in antiviruses there is a special button). And the fact that the correction does not lend itself to retirement.
Do not forget to scan your computer forthe presence of spies. They, too, can sometimes harm the system, and also cause Skype's refusal to work. By analogy with viruses, spies are removed or dangerous objects are treated. Now you can try to start Skype. It is recommended that you reinstall the application. Computer program installed. "Skype" does not open anyway? Then try another small trick. He does not work as often as he would like, but it's worth taking into account.
Registry
It's about cleaning the registry.If you do not perform this procedure from time to time, then the operating system will start to fail. As a consequence, sooner or later many programs will refuse to work. And Skype is no exception. It is recommended to use an application called Ccleaner. It will help to automatically check the computer's registry, and then clean it of unnecessary accumulated files. After that, restart the attempt to start Skype. After the scan, you can send the computer to a reboot. Usually, after cleaning the system registry, the operating system is set up. And "Skype" starts to work in full.
Incompatibility
But that's not all.Does Skype not open? Gives an error message? If all of the above problems have not taken place, then you should make sure that the program is compatible with the operating system. Often on Windows 10, Skype refuses to work. You can correct the situation only by reinstalling the "Windows" to an older version. Fortunately, not so often incompatibility is the reason for the refusal of "Skype" from work.
