What are the reasons for Skype not to work? How to fix it?
The most common reasons why Skype won't work include:
The solutions listed below reveal how to fix Skype on your computer, smartphone, or tablet, running on the following operating systems:
As Skype requires access to your speakers, camera, and microphone, and so do audio and video recording apps, maybe one of those apps causes Skype to crash. To check if this is the case, close the apps completely, and check if Skype would crash. This will help you discover which app is the culprit.
If you have such apps, update them to the latest version, and if that didn't help, uninstall them.
An update a day (or as soon as they are released) keeps the bugs away. Maybe an outdated operating system is the reason why Skype is not working, or maybe the latest version of Skype is partially incompatible with your current operating system version.
To fix this, you need to update your mobile device's operating system to the latest version. Usually, updates are installed automatically, when they are released to the public, however, it's best to check for updates manually. If you are not sure how to check for updates manually, feel free to check our guide on updating the operating system.
If you installed a program, and Skype started crashing, then restart your device before running Skype again.
This course of action will ensure that the operating system, and all the processes part of it, will be restarted.
