    Default Annoying skype pop up

    Anyone know how to get rid of this annoying pop up? It's been there since last week and is driving me crazy!!!! I have tried everything and it wont go away. So I just end up dragging it down to the task bar. Ive tried getting it to go away thru task manager too but I dont even know what its called?

    Have you tried rebooting your computer? That looks like the microsoft account assigned to your computer wants to link your skype. Not skype itself. Go through your task manager and end everything that you aren't using. Also look in the taskbar tray on the bottom right to see what's open there too.

    ^^ Yep its not Skype. Do you have a Microsoft account already set up? if yes just enter the email and password and it will be gone. If you dont have it OR if its personal and separate from your skype persona then go into your Skype account and click on the image of yourself. Select Manage Account and from it will open your account in another browser window. Select Account Settings and there should be info to Unlink your Microsoft account.

    If its shows as unlinked then Go to Your microsoft account settings and look for Linked accounts and unlink from there. After either of these restart your computer.

    I've rebooted several times since it first started last week. Its only there when I am signed into skype tho. I just signed out of skype and it goes away. I resigned in and it pops up again. At the top of the pop up, it says link your skype account? Why is it wanting me to link my skype account? I dont want to screw something up tho.

    I went thru my task bar and don't see anything that could possibly be it. I also went thru task bar trying to end stuff but nothing helped. Maybe I am over looking it? I also don't want to end something I shouldnt and mess something up....lol

    You should be able to right click the window and click close. I did something similar to that to get rid of it. Because they can get fucked on that nonsense.

    Hey girl I just got the popup again and I was able to right click the very tip top of the window (and near the left) and then click close to make it go away.

    This just started happening to me today. I tried to sign in and it tells me wrong address or some crap. I wish I could close it permanently. thanks for the tip though, at least it's gone from my desktop until I reboot.
