One of the recently reported problems is related to the functionality of the touch version of Skype in Windows 10. Here’s what one of the affected users has been saying:

Other early Windows 10 users say that their Skype accounts won’t load either and that’s it’s just spinning. Also, the good old tradition of uninstalling the application and reinstalling it didn’t fix problems.

After installing the latest Windows Technical Preview update (9860) I am no longer able to sign in to the Windows Store version of Skype. The error message reads, Oops, there was a problem.

What do I do if Skype app stops working or doesn’t sign in?

1. Change Skype permissions

A Microsoft representative said that this is an issue with the Webcam Privacy settings and suggested that affected users need to give Skype permission to use your webcam through PC settings. Here’s how to do it:

  • Close the Skype App
  • Launch PC settings
  • Select Privacy
  • Select Webcam
  • Locate Skype in the app list and move the slider to the On position

2. Remove Skype cache data

This issue is often encountered in Windows, especially after Skype was integrated into Windows 10. I had this issue and I solved it using this solution:

  • Close Skype (from Task Manager)
  • Press Windows +R keys
  • Enter %appdata% , press OK and the Enter key
  • When the folder opens (it must be the Roaming folder), search Skype folder and rename it to Skype.old
  • Press Windows+R keys once more and type %temp%skype
  • Delete the DbTemp folder
