I believe I'm not using it: I started it once, but then requested the consumer version, because the business version doesn't let me use my pre-existing old Skype account. The machine also has what appears to be the business version of Skype installed, and may have been installed with Office 365 Business (that one is definitely installed on the machine). Skype was installed by a dedicated part-time sysadmin.

It's hard to get more specific version information for skype, but I think this is the personal version (not the business one), and the version that is composed of a traditional windows program and a metro-style windows app. I have Windows administrator privilages on this computer. I am currently running Skype version 8.29.0.50 by Microsoft.

#Skype desktop windows 10
I am using Windows 10 Pro, 64-bit (x86_64) version. How do I make the desktop shortcut not reappear without disabling the updates themselves? Whenever it does such an update, it recreates a shortcut (icon) for Skype on the desktop. Skype frequently automatically installs updated versions of itself.
