@scottalanmiller Can you change the title of this thread to "Skype Troubleshooting"?

@art_of_shred has my creds to see if he can make Skype work correctly.

$2.50/user/mo for screen sharing. That's a bit expensive when Skype is free (but doesn't work, so I get the issue.)
Works fine for me as does Google Hangouts.
Chime feels like, we're Amazon, lets make yet another product.
Depends, can you call me on it? nope, because MS has their accounts all broken. So in reality, it doesn't work for you, it just makes it feel like it works for you.
Danielle thinks it works for her, too, but people with her in their user list see her account broken and have problems contacting her and her account will semi-randomly get deleted and show up wrong with images and details from old accounts she doesn't have any more and she, too, can't get calls to work to some people.
Because the issues with Skype are account based, people often feel that it "works for them" even when they too are experiencing issues.
"People"? You mean you. No one else. Don't say Gene, because his issues are not isolated to Skype.
Yea,.. Because well - It's Gene
I think there's something deeper than just Skype on your computer, maybe even at the OS level.
Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
I like the way you think! lol
Went beyond that... Bought a new HDD and installed Linux before going back to Win10

So you're really screwed now. You tainted a brand new HDD with Linux! Might as well just burn the PC and go get a new computer.

Only thing I can think of is that Microsoft switched my account this morning, so this might be a new one. Only change that has been made in a very long time, maybe two years since MQ took over managing my account.

Yeah, it "magically" worked for me suddenly because MS made a change this morning...
