[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1795688, member: 175845"] Considering a recent [B]MS Skype[/B] auto-update completely messed up my Skype account that I've finally got back into seemingly working order and contacts back, I was wondering if there was a way to disable the auto-update that's no longer available in the recent versions. I found this at their "support" page: [url]https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/skype/forum/skype_insiderms-skype_insmac/auto-updates-for-skype/094b996a-9abb-4f33-bc8a-27e37d8dd25f[/url] That of course sent me looking and I came up with this: [I][B]Microsoft Skype (definitely) and Teams (maybe) – Disabling automatic updates[/B][/I] [url]https://soundmacguy.wordpress.com/2018/02/25/microsoft-skype-definitely-and-teams-maybe-disabling-automatic-updates/[/url] But it contains some code and suggestions I need some advice with. And a bit more code stuff and info. My question is, would this be safe enough to do or what about just removing the single source of any [I][B]Squirrel[/B][/I] software that sitting here: /Applications/Skype.app/Contents/Frameworks/Squirrel.framework See here for image as well: [url]https://soundmacguy.wordpress.com/2018/02/25/microsoft-skype-definitely-and-teams-maybe-disabling-automatic-updates/[/url] Thanks for any help or suggestions. PS: I'd just do any needed Skype updates manually. And BTW: How can a company mess and screw up an application that used to work so well and nicely. I've lost track of how many hours I wasted getting my Skype [/QUOTE]
