If you find out at a later point in time that you need the Skype or Messaging application again, then you may want to restore the apps on the system. You find skypehost.exe listed in that folder. Use the command dir to display the folder's contents.Make sure you replace the version with the one displayed to you.
Use the command cd Microsoft.Messaging_0.0_x86_8wekyb3d8bbwe to navigate to the folder.Use the command dir to display all folders, and scroll up until you find the Microsoft Messaging entry.Use the command cd "c:\Program Files\WindowsApps" to navigate to the folder.This opens an elevated command prompt window.
Tap on the Windows-key, type cmd.exe, hold down Ctrl and Shift, and hit enter. The easiest way to list the folder name is to do the following: Please note that the version may change when updates are released, and that you cannot open the folder using File Explorer. The installation directory of Microsoft Messaging, and skypehost.exe, is the following one:Ĭ:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.Messaging_ 0.0_x86_8wekyb3d8bbwe\ Get-AppxPackage *skypeapp* | Remove-AppxPackage. Get-AppxPackage *messaging* | Remove-AppxPackage. Run the following commands one after the other, press enter after each line. Tap on the Windows-key, type PowerShell, hold down Ctrl and Shift, and hit enter on the keyboard to open an elevated Powershell prompt. If you cannot remove Skype using the Settings application, need more control over the process, or want to execute the uninstallation on remote computer systems, then you may use PowerShell instead to remove the apps from those systems. Option 2: Remove Skype using the PowerShell You will notice that skypehost.exe is no longer running as a process on the PC. While you are at it, remove "get skype" as well.Ĭheck the Windows Task Manager after the uninstallation process completes. Confirm the prompt that appears to remove the application from the system. Click on Messaging + Skype, and then on the uninstall button that appears. You can browse the selection manually, or, and that is the faster way, type skype into the search at the top to list the two applications that you need to remove from the system. Navigate to System > Apps & features, and wait until the list of installed apps and programs is displayed fully on the page. Use the keyboard shortcut Windows-I to open the Settings application. 
It is easy to carry out and uses build-in Windows options to remove the application from the system. This is probably the best option for the majority of users. Option 1: Uninstall Messaging + Skype Note: Skype 7.0 is the desktop application which has nothing to do with skypehost.exe It makes little sense on the other hand to keep the process in suspended state if Skype Video or Messaging + Skype are not used on the system.
#SKYPE WILL NOT OPEN WINDOWS 7 WINDOWS 10#
Windows 10 will terminate suspended applications if resources they use are needed elsewhere. Suspended apps use little memory and usually no cpu, and it may not make much of a difference on most systems whether skypehost.exe is listed as a suspended process or not.
