I have a problem with this one:

The relevance in the actionscript fails: (singular expression refers to a non unique object)

name of key whose (name of it starts with "{" and (it contains "Skype" AND it != "Skype Click to Call" AND it does not contain "Toolbars" AND it does not contain "Update for Skype for Business") of (value "DisplayName" of it as string)) of key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall" of registry

whenever Microsoft Skype for Business MUI (English) 2016 is present.

It should have Microsoft Skype for Business added to the list of exclusions, like this:

name of key whose (name of it starts with "{" and (it contains "Skype" AND it != "Skype Click to Call" AND it does not contain "Toolbars" AND it does not contain "Update for Skype for Business" AND it does not contain "Microsoft Skype for Business") of (value "DisplayName" of it as string)) of key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall" of registry

Thanks @jgstew for reporting this!
Please try version 967 and let me know if the problem is not solved.

This doesn’t appear to be addressed in external site version 967

The following change was made to Version 967.
name of key whose (name of it starts with "{" and (it contains "Skype" AND it != "Skype Click to Call" AND it does not contain "Toolbars" AND it does not contain "Skype for Business") of (value "DisplayName" of it as string)) of key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall" of registry

And it’s tested in non-MUI Skype for Business environment.

Odd. The console says I have version 969 of Updates for Windows Applications but I don’t see this change.

That’s weird. I checked again just now and I can see the change in version 969 for fixlet 5055235.
