I keep on getting a "Skype for business 2015" pop up on my Win 8.1 laptop
I have never used or plan to use Skype
So wish to remove it - completely
The program does not appear in my program list - so I assumed that it was part of Windows - yet it does not appear in the Windows features either
Any suggestions how I get rid of it ?

Which program list are you referring to; there's the program list on the Start page and theres a program list you can access via Control Panel's Programs and Features page.

Control Panel list !!0 -
I assume you mean that it doesn't appear in Control Panel's Programs and Features list.Control Panel list !!
From the Win8 Start page, click on the down arrow, bottom left of the page, where you should find a list of all programs / apps installed. Right-click on any program / app and select Uninstall from the options if you want to uninstall it.Warning: In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

I don't know if this helps, but "Skype for Business" is Microsoft's new name for Lync, which you might have with the business version of Office 365.0

I have Office Pro Plus 2013 but this has no "modify" option on the installer to allow me to dispose of this addition !!
So it looks as if I am stuck with it ???0 -

It seems to appear at random - sometimes at boot up - sometimes when I open IE, Sometimes, when nothing is being opened !!
It is extremely annoying..0 -
What does the pop-up actually say? Is it a login (user ID + password) dialog box?0
