Just a heads up for those with Windows 10 PCs.

Noticed this yesterday on my main comp. It's the new version of UWP Skype seems to be auto-installing itself as part of a new update. It doesn't replace any other version of Skype you already have (unless it's the UWP version, probably).
What's annoying about it is that it auto-starts up and there is NO option to prevent it from doing so. It doesn't show up as a Startup Process, either in Task Manager or in Startup Programs. You have to delete it to make sure it doesn't waste system resources...
It was always there. You just never used it. Go ahead and uninstall it
I never actually installed it on either computer; in fact I deleted it from the one I'm currently using, and this one has it all of a sudden as well.
It's happen to me too and I'm on Pro
I was already wondering why the fuck Skype suddenly started appearing on my main computer as well as my new laptop, both the same day appearing on the taskbar.
Worse is there doesn't seem a way to close it, only to hide it, so, i've already uninstalled it in both computers. Why the fuck does microsoft feel like forcing their shit onto our computers when we don't fucking want it?
No?
I've installed windows 10 around half a dozen times so far, on a bunch of different personal / home computers, and it isn't on any of them.
I haven't had any of these weird issues that keep popping up. Probably the myriad of scripts I ran that neutered all that nonsense.
