Good morning all; on behalf of a client, my client is running jaws19, windows10, and skype classic, is there a way to stop the program from asking to be updated to the latest version? I went into tools, options, advanced, didn't see no checkbox for not allow skype to update.
The impossible is the untried, Never under estimate the power of a dream.

We are being migrated to Skype 8. Microsoft has made accessibility efforts, and there is JAWS support for it. You want to avoid the Skype app, as distinct from the Skype 8 Desktop app.

There are lots of new skype keystrokes and some also that are added with the release of JAWS 2018 and 2019. Now remembering them all is another story.
I know I tend to remember those I need at a certain time rather than just memorizing them all. If you go to the help on skype or what's new with JAWS 2019, you should find a large table of both the Skype and JAWS keystrokes in Skype 8.

Microsoft announced that after November 1st 2018 Skype 7 could stop working at any moment. Remember that it was stopped suddenly before and reinstated temporarily at popular demand. There is no alternative but to switch to Skype 8 and, although it has a learning Curve, it is workable. It has the added advantage of recording conversations.

Humberto

But to answer your question , no there is no way to stop it from nagging you. So far, I’ve not updated on my Windows7 dekstop that has Skype Classic, but have put Skype 8 Electron on the Windows 10 laptop.

I'm sorry that I haven't been following this topic much, as I've been avoiding updating Skype. However, my question now is how do I know if I have the app or the desktop Skype, and if I don't, where do I get it?? I am still on Skype 7 classic.

David. He or she is better off running Skype 8 and learn the new interface which is like a web page. I don’t believe there is no option to disable this in Skype 7 AKA Classic.
