Skype contacts have disappeared - what to do?

Skype contacts have disappeared - what can I do?

First try to log on to another device. Use either a different computer or a smartphone. Skype is available for the PC as well as for Android, iOS and Windows Phone. The contacts that appear here are really in your contact list.
Before taking any further steps, you should first create a Skype backup. If the contact list is displayed on the other PC, make a backup there and play it on the faulty PC.
If fewer contacts still appear on your PC than on other devices, follow the instructions in the next paragraph.

First, uninstall Skype. We show you exactly how this works in this practical tip.
Now the remaining files have to be removed from Skype. To do this, press the key combination Windows Key + R and enter the command "AppData". Then remove the entire "Skype" folder from the "Local" folder and the "Roaming" folder.
Download the current version of Skype now and install it.
Log in to your account. Your contact list should be complete again.
