Microsoft will drop Skype from the desktop version due to an installation error
Due to Skype's installation error, Microsoft decided to give it a "retirement". Microsoft made this decision also to avoid confusing users because Windows 10 currently exists two versions of Skype (both old and new).
On Windows 10, there are currently two different versions of Skype: the UWP application version on the Microsoft Store (new) and the (old) desktop version. And to focus on fully UWP applications, Microsoft is expected to stop developing desktop versions.
Previously, Microsoft had warned about problems with Skype for desktop installation with older versions, from 7.40 or lower. Because the problem is in the installer and not the software, customers who have installed Skype for desktop (previously) will not be affected. Microsoft has also removed older Skype versions from skype.com. The technology company also said that the latest Skype installations have not been recorded affected.
Version 7.40.0.104 may be the final version of Skype for desktop that everyone sees.
In October 2017, Microsoft released version 8.0, but the number of new version users is not very large.
Therefore, deleting one of the two existing Skype versions on Windows 10 will help users avoid confusion and increase the number of users of the new Skype version of the company.
Users can still install and use Skype for desktop for versions from Windows 8.1 and below.
