I don't know why Microsoft decided to remove all exit options, at least the visible or natural ones, from Skype. While Microsoft is not the first company to do that, it should have added an option to close Skype to the application as it is a much requested feature by users of the communication software. ![]() It is rather interesting that Microsoft's Skype team changes the century old function of the close button. Downside to the method is that you need to sign in to Skype again if you need to use it not a problem for users who use it once or twice a year, but a problem for users who use it regularly. Just select Quit Skype from the menu to terminate the program for good. That option is only available for signed out users, apparently. If you right-click on the Skype icon in the system tray now, however, you will notice that it has a quit Skype option. ![]() Right-click the Skype system tray icon and select Quit. ![]() Signing out keeps Skype open and if you don't investigate further, you could come to the conclusion that it does not change anything in regards to closing Skype. To close the Skype desktop application, locate the Skype icon in the notification area next to the clock on your taskbar. You can do so with a click on the profile icon in the Skype software and there on the Sign out link. By default, if applications have unsaved data, Windows 10 will show a closing apps and shutting down screen that prompts the user to Shut down anyway or Cancel.
