几年前,我们发布了一份关于取消您的 Skype ID 与您的Microsoft 帐户(Microsoft account)的链接的指南。它在我们的读者中很受欢迎,它为他们提供了真正的帮助。然而,截至 2017 年初,它停止工作,因为微软(Microsoft)默默地改变了事情,没有任何形式的官方博客文章(blog post)。今天,取消 Skype ID 与Microsoft 帐户(Microsoft account)的关联似乎是不可能的任务(Mission Impossible)。但是,我们进行了一些研究,并为您提供了帮助。这里是:
过去,Microsoft允许我们取消Skype帐户与Microsoft帐户的关联
过去,如果您访问 Skype 网站(Skype website),使用您的Skype 帐户(Skype account)登录并进入帐户设置(Account settings),您可以选择取消您的Microsoft 帐户(Microsoft account)与您的Skype ID的链接。

请参阅Microsoft在 2017 年之前提供的取消链接按钮。(Unlink )

今天,这个按钮不再存在,并且在他们的支持页面上(support page),微软声明如下:“由于正在进行的更改,目前无法取消 Skype 和微软帐户的链接。如果你不小心链接了错误的帐户,我们理解你的沮丧。如果您遇到这种情况,请通过下面的快速调查告诉我们。”("Due to ongoing changes, unlinking of Skype and Microsoft accounts is currently unavailable. We understand the frustration if you've accidentally linked the wrong accounts. If this happened to you, let us know through the quick survey below.")

因此,您的Skype ID和您不想使用或不是您的Microsoft 帐户之间的链接错误。(Microsoft account)
我能做些什么来解决这个问题?
有些人生活在真实的恐怖故事中,他们的 Skype ID(IDs)与属于其他人的Microsoft 帐户相关联。(Microsoft account)如果您遇到这种情况,您所能做的就是使用反馈表(feedback form)。转到此页面(Go to this page),选择您面临的问题并将其提交给Microsoft。

这并不意味着Microsoft会自动与您取得联系。很可能他们会采取一些行动,除非有很多人通过此表格进行投诉。这很糟糕,我们和你一样对微软(Microsoft)在这个问题上的方法感到不满。
如果您可以登录您的 Skype ID 或 Microsoft 帐户(ID or Microsoft account),那么如果您访问此支持页面,您可能会从(support page)Microsoft获得一些真正的帮助。

选择帮助主题(help topic),提供必要的详细信息并提交您的问题。Microsoft可能会在这种情况下为您提供帮助。
如果您不再想使用它,另一种选择是删除您的Microsoft 帐户。(Microsoft account)转到此页面(this page)并完成关闭帐户的向导。但是,您也可能无法访问您的Skype ID,并在此过程中删除所有内容。
为什么我们将Skype ID(Skype IDs)链接到Microsoft帐户而生活如此混乱?
最初,Skype是在爱沙尼亚(Estonia)创建的,第一个公开测试版于 2003 年8 月(August 2003)发布。2011年5 月(May 2011),该公司被微软(Microsoft)收购,此后,微软(Microsoft)逐渐将Skype整合到其服务组合中。今天,Skype是(Skype)微软(Microsoft)提供的官方聊天客户端(chat client)。
(Old)Skype的(Skype)老用户曾经有一个Skype ID来访问该应用程序。Microsoft有自己的独立Microsoft 帐户(Microsoft account)。如果您想了解有关它们的更多信息,请阅读本指南:什么是Microsoft 帐户(Microsoft account)(Outlook、Xbox、Skype)?。
由于该公司希望将Skype集成到其产品组合中,因此必须将Skype ID(Skype IDs)与Microsoft 帐户(Microsoft account)相关联。最初,这一步是可选的,如果他们愿意,人们可以在他们想要的时候做。然后,它成为强制性的,但有一段时间,人们可以在遇到问题时取消他们的Skype ID(Skype IDs)与他们的Microsoft 帐户(Microsoft account)的链接。现在,微软(Microsoft)不再希望人们通过他们的Skype ID使用(Skype IDs)Skype。他们希望人们通过他们的Microsoft 帐户使用(Microsoft account)Skype。而且,因为这整个迁移过程(migration process)处理不好,你没有面临你所遇到的问题。您可能会被其他人的Microsoft 帐户(Microsoft account)访问您的旧Skype ID 所困。

How to unlink your Skype ID from your Microsoft account
A few years ago, we published a guide aboυt υnlinking your Skype ID from уour Micrоsoft account. It was very popular with our readers, and it provided them with real help. However, as of early 2017, it stopped working because Microsoft has silently changed things, withоυt an official blog post of any kind. Today, unlinking your Skype ID from your Microsoft account seems like Misѕion Impossible. However, we did some research, and we havе help for you. Here it is:
In the past, Microsoft allowed us to unlink Skype accounts from Microsoft accounts
In the past, if you went to the Skype website, logged in with your Skype account and went to Account settings, you were given the option to unlink your Microsoft account from your Skype ID.

See the Unlink button that was offered by Microsoft until 2017.

Today, this button no longer exists, and, on their support page, Microsoft states the following: "Due to ongoing changes, unlinking of Skype and Microsoft accounts is currently unavailable. We understand the frustration if you've accidentally linked the wrong accounts. If this happened to you, let us know through the quick survey below."

Therefore, you are stuck with the wrong link between your Skype ID and a Microsoft account that you do not want to use or it is not yours.
What can I do to solve this issue?
Some people are living true horror stories with their Skype IDs being linked to a Microsoft account that belongs to someone else. If this is the case for you, all you can do is use a feedback form. Go to this page, select the problem you are facing and submit it to Microsoft.

This doesn't mean that Microsoft will automatically get in touch with you. Most probably they will take some action, only if many people complain through this form. This sucks and we are just as unhappy as you are with Microsoft's approach on this issue.
If you can sign into your Skype ID or Microsoft account, then you might get some real help from Microsoft, if you go to this support page.

Choose the help topic, provide the necessary details and submit your problem. Microsoft might help you in this scenario.
Another alternative is to delete your Microsoft account, if you no longer want to use it. Go to this page and complete the wizard for closing your account. However, you may lose access to your Skype ID as well, and have everything deleted in the process.
Why are we living this mess with linking Skype IDs to Microsoft accounts?
Initially, Skype was created in Estonia and the first public beta was released in August 2003. In May 2011, the company was bought by Microsoft and since then, Microsoft gradually integrated Skype into its portfolio of services. Today, Skype is the official chat client offered by Microsoft.
Old users of Skype used to have a Skype ID to access the app. Microsoft has their own, separate Microsoft accounts. If you want to learn more about them, read this guide: What is a Microsoft account (Outlook, Xbox, Skype)?.
Because the company wanted to integrate Skype into its portfolio, it had to link Skype IDs with Microsoft accounts. Initially, this step was optional and people could do it when they wanted, if they wanted. Then, it became mandatory but, for a while, people could unlink their Skype IDs from their Microsoft account, if they had problems. Now, Microsoft no longer wants people to use Skype with their Skype IDs. They want people to use Skype with their Microsoft accounts. And, because this whole migration process was handled poorly, you are not facing the issues that you have. You may be stuck with someone else's Microsoft account having access to your old Skype ID.
