Do you read the release notes for every Windows update you've received
for 14 years? I found out by reading the release notes that some
updates pushed Skype updates. Unfortunately Microsoft release notes on
Windows updates have been getting more and more terse resulting in less
information conveyed to users. After the updates, I would scan the
registry and file system to find Skype files that had been before
removed; i.e., I had to redo the remnant cleanup of something that was
previously uninstalled and the remnant cleanup done at that time.
Be careful on registry remnant cleanup of Skype. MS Office updates also
include a Skype server. If you have MS Office installed, take a look at:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{AAEC1DAE-CC06-4DA4-B762-56A76FD4B2FF}
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Local Settings\MrtCache\C:%5CProgram Files%5CWindowsApps%5CMicrosoft.SkypeApp_14.35.152.0_x64__kzf8qxf38zg5c%5Cmicrosoft.system.package.metadata%5CS-1-5-21-2131505889-2184669246-1466091326-1001-MergedResources-0.pri
and under C:\Program Files\WindowsApps
or do a search on "skype" in voidtools' [Search] Everything.
If Skype was uninstalled, why is there still a user profile folder for
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Skype?
Skype for Business is a component of Microsoft 365 suite of products.
Remember I noted you got 60 minutes per month of Skype for free (along
with 1 TB per account) when you got their MS 365 products. You can try
to eradicate Skype, but WU and Office updates will update it. Back when
I saw Skype reappearing on my desktop computer, I didn't yet have MS
365. I just read the release notes for the Windows updates (when they
used to be informative), and then check and found resurrected files and
registry entries after the updates.
