Skype Desktop keeps closing

For the love of Skype!

Does anyone know how I can stop Skype desktop from mysteriously closing all by itself?  If I walk away from my desk for a few minutes I come back to discover Skype has closed, ugh.

    <p>If the Skype UWP is opening, that will force the desktop app to close.</p>

      <p>The problem is with Skyp UWP, which I like but is missing a key feature for me – the ability to paste an image from clipboard.&nbsp; Until they add that I am stuck on the desktop version.&nbsp; Unintalling Skyp UWP does the trick for anyone else having the issue.</p>

    <p>I’m also having the same problem and have heard from others that the same is happening to them.</p>
    <p>I’ve now switched to the Skype Preview app as I couldn’t put up with Skype closing.</p>
    <p>I have a feeling the Skype Preview app is also having the same problem, but that may be just me closing it by mistake.</p>
