Since Microsoft got involved Skype has been having a LOT of issues. Delete Skype and redownload the file. When you log back on all your stuff will still be there. If it still locks up it may be a SKYPE browser button that's gone bad tripping up the main app. I hav a remnant in Chrome where I can have Skype closed but if someone calls the alarm tones go off, but no way to answer. GIANT pain in the ***.
