So Skype now comes preinstalled on Windows 10, but is not listed in any proram management tool (Windows now has a bunch of those) and right-clicking on it in the start menu and choosing "Uninstall" does absolutely nothing. To make it even better, it autostarts at login.
But there is a way to fix this:
Start --> search for PowerShell --> right-click --> Run as administrator
This will open a PowerShell window where you use these commands:
> Get-AppXPackage *skype*
*** Shows info about Skype package here***
If it finds Skype (and only it) use next command to remove it. If it finds more things, you might want to refine the query so you don't remove those other things (but it probably won't)
> Get-AppXPackage *skype* | Remove-AppXPackage
And you've just made the world a better place.
Don't forget to click that notification bell so we can fight muh algorithm!!1
