If you have an older version of Skype installed on your computer, it is recommended that you upgrade it to the latest version as soon as possible. Now sign out from the web client and see if the problem went away from the application installed on your computer. The problem won’t be there in the web client. After you are signed in, ask any of your friends to message you and open the message. Sometimes, the signing process can take a while so be patient. You would see a window like this when you will navigate to the web client (link given above). Skype also has a web client from where you can log into your account without the traditional application. Solution 2: Logging Skype from your BrowserĪnother workaround which also works for many people is logging into Skype using any browser. Ask any of your friends to send you a sample message and check if the notification problem is fixed. Sign into Skype again using your credentials.The client will now confirm the sign out by popping a small window.Click the “ Menu button (three dots)” preset at the near top of the window.Note: Do not perform this solution if you don’t have your credentials at hand because you will be required to enter them before you will be able to log in again. It is possible that re-logging into the client will reset all the configurations, load all the data, and fix the problem under discussion. Like all other software, Skype also has its store of bugs and incorrect configurations.

The easiest workaround for this problem is to re-login into your Skype client.

In most cases, just re-logging into your Skype client fixes the issue. The fixes for this issue are quite straightforward and easy. This issue also includes the condition where your Skype icon has a red dot on its icon for an indefinite period of time (a red dot means there is a notification you haven’t read yet). Skype users face a problem where Skype refuses to make the message/call notifications go away even after you have read them.
