I really wish they would fix Skype for Windoze. Pretty tired of it crashing a time or four during the day, and keeps telling me there is an update available, but the update fails...
Ah, there is your problem. Windows. You know, @art_of_shred and @Minion-Queen claim that Skype on Windows is so good of an experience and no issues and that all the issues are on the Linux side. I thought that that sounded too good to be true.

We don't have any issues. Maybe once every 3 months I might have to restart the app cause it starts acting weird and might be looking for an update. I don't consider that outside the realm of stable functionality. As far as whatever other things Gene has going on that might make his system/apps unstable and cause his Skype to crash... I can't answer that. He likes to dabble with Linux and had a dual-boot setup last I knew.

Skype has already crashed once this morning... Ugh.
I might just see if I have a clear drive and Linux it. Won't be a SSD - but have to see...Hmm (mumbles something about running STEAM on Linux,...)

Just crashed again! -
Gene - what other software do you have installed on Windows ?
Might be super painful, but flush that system, reinstall Win10 1607, install Skype and the bare software you need to work... and see how it goes.

Also of note, I get a daily notice that there is an update for Skype. If I try to run it, it fails - can't seem to figure out the UserName -
At which point I have to manually do it.

So you get this daily, you install daily, yet you still get it daily?

No - at this point, I ignore it. I tried to set so that it doesn't check, but since it crashes, it doesn't retain the setting.

Just set to NOT check, exited, and on restart, it checked for updates.
