None of the methods, described here, does not work and has not never worked. But I have quite another question - why you should install a version which has the annexes and the ads and then want to begin to block them? After all, if there is version without no ads and no automatic updates. So why not install it?
The newest Skype App for Android is horrid, but luckily Skype Lite (for users in India supposedly) is out there and its great, but Skype for Windows is still horrid, even the Portable version. It even tries to install some Store-like package in Program Data AppRepository directory. Is there an older version of a "Lite" version of Skype that does not have that bloatware? I also use Viber, but many friends use Skype for webcam chat, so I need that too...
Hello guys, I would like to know if is possible to make Skype 8 version looks like Skype classic, or even better, make classic version works nowadays... Microsoft just says that they listen users, but doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in favour of users, does not matter the software platform... All help will be highly appreciated.
The short and simple answer is - no To clarify - you can install, but you can't even sign in, because Microsoft has completely disabled and blocked this version. You can't even any of older versions 7.x.xx use and even not then, if it is as portable.
