Skype appears to have done something to prevent stopping it from auto-running on startup. There is no longer a setting to prevent it from starting on boot. The settings that remain mean I can hide it from the tray (but they still run it in the background -- it's got 4 processes in task manager: Skype > SkypeBridge, Runtime Broker, SkypeApp, Microsoft Skype).
It no longer appears in "start-up" tab of task manager either.
I only use it occassionally, but it's a pain logging out because then one has to find one's password making quickly contacting someone a pretty rubbish UX.
Are Microsoft really that evil, or did they move the setting somewhere and I've missed it? I just want to use Skype when I want to run it, and not have Microsoft control when it gets run, is that asking too much? Is the only route now to delete it and force my elderly relatives to use something else?
(Are there other apps they're shadow running?)
Windows 10, Skype version 8.42.0.60
