For the last couple of months I’ve been having a problem with Skype freezing up for 1-3 seconds every time I’d click to another application and come back. After 2 months or so of hatred for Skype, I finally found a fix that appears to be working.
Open Internet Explorer -> internet options -> security -> restricted sites – then add https://apps.skype.com as a restricted site Since I’ve done that, I’ve not had skype freeze up on me.
