Regular Skype is included in Windows 10, and is an 'App' that you can get also in the Windows Store.

People who install O365 also get Skype (or Skype for Business) depending on what your licensing for O365 grants you.

The same thing applies to OneNote. It is included in the OS, but you will have 2 versions if you install O365.

It might come back when Windows 10 does one of its wonderful (that was snark) Feature Updates, where it resets many of the settings you may have customized.

Settings menu in W10 is just a nicer GUI that's overlaid on the old Control Panel system mr_lebowski Sep 2020 #5
