Thank you for your notices. I know and I'm sorry that information on this blog is outdated, but I do not have time to fix everything. By the way, on this page you download only latest versions. If you click on "Skype for Windows" or "Find old versions" you'll see the list of all versions including, the classic ones. As about the 7. Skype Classic is just the regular Skype without the new "junk". It's on the standard download page for Skype for Windows.

There is no need to look for it in a old versions section. Skype Classic is still it's own thing. Skype for Windows comes in multiple varients; 3 different programs. Also, Classic Skype is at 7. Clicking update will state it's already at the latest version. Straight of Skype's site: "Skype 7. Just over 3 months ago.

Nevertheless, you cannot deny that eight version is the latest version of Skype for Windows Desktop and that the seventh version is abandoned I mean, that will no longer receive big updates or features. Of course, before that, was the sixth against fifth and fourth. As about version 7. I have never seen version 6 called classic. Version 6 is just an "older version". It's just not going to get the "junk" added.

Version 7 has been receiving updates well after version 8 came out. As I stated before, Skype for Windows has 3 varients. All 3 are there own branches and all 3 are still being supported and updated. As for v. It is designed for Windows 10, not Windows 7 or 8. Skype 7. You can get all this information directly from Skype. I do not want to argue with you, so in short I want to convey my thoughts: 1 Skype 8 is latest version of Skype for Windows Desktop.

Exactly this version receives updates in normal mode as it was always for all versions. Taking this into account, I can consider that it is abandoned I hope that I'm wrong. Recruits, by "classic" means 6. There are no versions of the seventh branch compiled after this date. Are you saying that the classic version will no longer be updated? Please do not misunderstand me, but I just do not know the right answer. Nevertheless, it seems to me that the seventh branch will no longer be actively supported for example, by adding new features or by fixing small bugs.

The problem is that latest version was released at 29 August , and even after two months it received only two patches. If you analyze the development history of the Skype, you will see that this is unusual. Not sure that I understood you correctly, but in order to reset password you must follow the URL received by email. No one except you will not be able to reset your password. Like I tried to explain before Skype Classic is its own branch and is still being updated.

I just received a new update for it. The latest update to version seventh branch Skype Classic is: v. But at the same time, I'm also right that the seventh version is abandoned I mean, that will no longer receive big updates or features. At least at this moment we got 7.

Quoting their reply: [Skype engineers] reviewed the code and were able to reproduce the issue, but have determined that the fix will be implemented in a newer version of the product rather than a security update. The team is planning on shipping a newer version of the client, and this current version will slowly be deprecated.

The installer would need a large code revision to prevent DLL injection, but all resources have been put toward development of the new client. Moreover, they removed the Updater from 7. The updater has not been removed.

They only removed the option to "disable automatic updates". The updater is still built in though. I know it will not receive the junk features that Microsoft is making for v8, but those are all horrible additions.

Only updates it needs is security. Not junk features. The whole trying to make it a social network is how Microsoft is destroying Skype. I see users leave it all the time for alternative communication software for this reason. Deleting a feature is not a security patch.

Prior to this release, there was a standalone service that used Updater. Now it's gone. Well, these files are still included in the SkypeSetupFull. By the way, I prefer the classic version and I'll use it until the last. I just hope that when it will be discontinued, the new version will become a worthy replacement.

It doesn't want to start. I have Windows 10 and the message "Cannot log in. Check your Internet connection and try again" and so on endlessly. I cannot activate the camera. I cannot find setting about the video.
