@TheCandyManHK, I know it sounds silly, but check if your Windows is actually activated.. @Enthousiast, While it is not good news to know that every upgrade brought its own corruption with it... It is comforting to know, my computer is not the only odd case.. Having cleaned the dirt, things are a little nippier, but now I don't trust this installation. Once the final is release, it is a clean fresh installation. Gosh, I became so good at it that I can do it in a relatively short time. I have enjoyed Windows 7 (that was a good one) and Windows 8.1, but I don't know why I am feeling the pain of this one.. Could it be an early sign of ageing?? Let's hope it is not sex next!!!
If people are going to make Shrodinger's cat jokes, make sure the issue can actually be looked at in the same way. The post was nothing like Shrodinger's cat. Only connection was their username.
It didn't solve anything. In the messaging app I can only see two conversations of two of my skype contacts. However, I got other contacts in the normal Skype client. When I search for them in the "+" symbol to start a new conversation with them, I can't find any of them. I can't even find the other two that I started conversations with. Anyone has this problem? The thing is I got many contacts in the skype client, but I can't find ANYONE in the search box of the new Messaging App. Any help will be appreciated.
@foxtochop, I reported the same problem sometime back, I followed MS recommendation, no satisfaction. I actually connected using the Samsung Note, I seem to have lost some of the history there as well.!! So the problem seems to be at Skype...

I started shutting the notifications off early on...irritating little buggers. Yes, indeed...these little homemade file & settings cleaners are known for deleting more than you're led to believe they are "cleaning". It can be like Spring cleaning your house with a nuke.
