In most cases, Skype goes unresponsive on an entirely spontaneous basis, sometimes even working for hours before exhibiting any such behavior. Skype frequently going unresponsive and having to be force closed every time can be caused by a wide array of different things, from AppData corruption to the user’s Skype history simply getting cluttered and anything in between. Skype freezing on a user while they are using it certainly is a significant problem. Thankfully, though, it is a problem that affected users can even fix on their own. However, before you move on to trying to fix this problem, you need to make sure that the version of Skype you have on your computer is the latest version available (you can find the latest available version of Skype here). The following are the most effective solutions that you can use to fix Skype if it frequently goes unresponsive during use:
Solution 1: Delete certain files from your AppData folder
%AppData%\skype chatsync media_messaging thmanager mmanager
Solution 2: Completely uninstall and then reinstall Skype
If Solution 1 doesn’t work for you, there’s a good chance you’ll have better luck with completely uninstalling Skype (including putting all of its files and folders out of commission) and reinstalling it. To completely uninstall and then reinstall Skype, you need to: %AppData%\skype %AppData%
