    Skype crashes when I get a call or try to call.

    Hello there! No matter what I do to fix skype, it doesn't work. I've tried almost everything. (reinstalling, editing in config, compatibility mode, cmd, etc.) No matter what I do, it doesn't fix itself. Btw, I have windows 10. Please help me.
