Whenever I startup my Windows 10 laptop and then log in, the second the home screen appears, Skype starts up, covering up the home screen completely.

I need to keep on closing the Skype window to get that thing off of my screen. It's extremely annoying.

How can I disable this?

Open Task Manager and navigate to the 'Start-up' tab. Find Skype in the list of applications, right-click it and select 'Disable'. This will prevent Skype from loading on start-up.
