Set Skype to not "hang" when starting

skype

Skype is one of the most popular applications for video calling and through the Internet. Is για διάφορα λειτουργικά συμπεριλαμβανομένων των Windows, Linux, Android και Windows Phone. Η Microsoft προσφατα το αγόρασε για να αντικαταστήσει το δικό της Windows Live Messenger με το Skype. Τώρα είναι στενά συνδεδεμένο με τα Windows, αφού από τα Windows 8.x έρχεται ως ενσωματωμένη of the subway.

If you are a Skype user, you may have noticed that the application "hangs" when it starts, especially if it starts with the startup of your entire computer. This annoying behavior is caused by the program's history synchronization feature. Although it is useful to have all the of Skype on each of our PCs/mobile devices, over time the file size can become quite large.

So in this case Skype takes several minutes to load and sync all its history. That's why it seems to stick. To fix this, simply change them of your instant messages to reduce the history size.

  1. Go to Skype Main Menu -> Tools -> Options…
  2. Navigate to Direct Message and SMS to the left
  3. Navigate to Instant Messaging Settings in the submenu
  4. Click the button Show advanced options

5. Change the option Keep History for in two weeks:

skype-hangs-after-start-for-a-few-minutes-2

6. Optionally, you can also Clear History if you have nothing important in your conversations.

 

Now the launch of Skype will be fast.
