Skype is a program with which you can communicate on the Internet using a webcam. If a correctly installed application does not start on your computer, you need to understand the causes of the problem.
Necessary
- - PC;
- - the Internet
- - Skype.
Instructions
Step 1
One of the most common reasons is a firewall. It is a software tool that exercises control. The main task of the firewall is to protect the computer network. Firewalls filter certain programs that do not match their criteria or rules. To resolve the issue with the launch of Skype, the application must be added to the list of allowed programs.
Step 2
To ensure that nothing violates the user's privacy, the defender can assign a high or critical alert level to any application. It is generally not recommended to run them.
Step 3
If you know for sure that Skype will not cause any harm to your PC, open the Windows Support Center notification - it usually pops up in the tray, next to the system clock. Then, from the Actions menu, select Windows Defender Alert and then Allow. Then click the line "Apply actions".
Step 4
Windows firewalls are powerful system defenses that can be difficult to configure properly, to create certain simple rules. Windows Firewall Control is a small program that runs in the taskbar. Download it from https://softkumir.ru/index.php?id=1316322872 and then install.
Step 5
In Windows 7 and Vista, you can find the icon for this program in the tray, next to the clock. The program provides access to four filtering modes for the firewall. The status indicator for each of them can be seen on the taskbar as an icon.
Step 6
By setting the high filtering mode, you will deny all outgoing connections. All attempts to connect to the Internet from your computer will be blocked.
Step 7
Medium filtering mode allows you to set rules for specific applications. Allow Skype to communicate through the firewall, add it to the list with rules. By setting the low filtering mode, you will allow all outgoing connections.
