We help Wednesday

<p>Brad, Paul, Rafael or somebody, anybody…please tell me there is a way to disable Skype from the "new" Outlook Mail (web version) as it comes by default. &nbsp;Why am I forced to endure this hot mess called Skype every time I log into to Outlook Mail by default? &nbsp;If I wanted a Skype account I would have signed up for one, but I DON’T WANT SKYPE! &nbsp;I’ve never had a Skype account, didn’t migrate over to Skype after they killed WLM. &nbsp;This is so frustrating!!! &nbsp;Do users no longer have any choice over what apps and services they wish to utilize on their own devices?</p>
<p>Why isn’t there an option to "opt in" to which apps and services I wish to utilize on my own devices with my MSA? &nbsp;Currently there isn’t even an option to "opt out" at the moment. &nbsp; Is it that hard??? &nbsp;Btw, I wouldn’t have anything to opt out of if Microsoft hadn’t automatically signed me into it in the first place!</p>
<p>I’m not stupid. &nbsp;I realize that this is a great way to increase Skype’s usage numbers by automatically signing users into an Skype account every time they sign in to their web email, but why "violate" users in this underhanded manner. This is worse than the W10 campaign!&nbsp;</p>
<p>I recently read an older article by Rafael that described a way to do this in W8, 8.1, please tell me there is some way to do this in W10?</p>
<p>I read the original Verge article from Nov. 8th, just recently published by Windows Central, and this is just one of the reasons I don’t want a Skype account. &nbsp;Not to mention the aggravation I’ve been through since after discovering I now have a Skype account through the default with Outlook Mail. &nbsp;Silly me thought the Skype icon in the header was just there if I ever wished to add that service, lol. &nbsp;Boy did I find out differently. &nbsp;After much research on this subject, I clicked on the Skype link in the Outlook Mail header to be shocked to see I was available and there were all my WLM contacts I hadn’t seen since 2013 in Skype with 1 unknown contact. After investigation I found on a Skype Forum that this was a known porn spambot. &nbsp;After removing this unknown contact, my spam in Outlook Mail decreased from approx. a little less than 200 per day, down to less than 20 per day. &nbsp;No coincidence I’m sure, thanks a lot Microsoft.</p>

<p>If there is any solution to the default automatic sign in to Skype in Outlook Mail, I would be eternally grateful! &nbsp; If I can’t find a solution I will just have to give up a hotmail account I’ve had for decades as it is also my MSA and possibly start over. &nbsp;Do you know if the W10 Mail and Calendar app automatically signs you into Skype too? Thanks for hearing me out, and I apologize for the rant, but this is just so frustrating.</p>
