    this is how it went, i have a win 8.1 laptop and upon booting so my wife logged in for her account on skype, not knowing that it will be jointed to my microsoft account, now after some time she bought a laptop then it has a pre installed win 8.1 also, now the problem is she can't log her skype account thru windows 8.1 menu and it says its already merged with my microsoft account, is there a way to undo the merging of her skype account to my microsoft account?

    If this a temporary problem they might fix it but for the OP you might want to contact M$ as this could be a deeper problem with their integration of Skype and Microsoft linking when they users doesn't realize what they clicked on. But I have Skype too but I didn't allow it to link to Microsoft but I have Windows 7x64 Ult though.

    Seems to be working for me now via both Android and Windows 7 and 8.1. I have my Skype and Microsoft accounts linked.

    This is what I keep getting:

    But logging in using my BlackBerry works fine!

    Skype never had login issues until Microshaft took over!

    ohhh nevermind, seems like it was a problem with my ISP blocking Skype because I tried with my VPN and now it works fine
