Hello,
I installed Skype on a fresh Windows 8 and it strains my HDD every time it's on; the drive just keeps making "loading noises" at a very regular short interval. I tried shutting just the Skype updater and leaving Skype on, but that didn't fix it.
Any ideas about the reason? I didn't really install Win 8 updates nor do I intend to update to 8.1, as I'm formatting the thing soon anyway, and switching back to my successfully claimed (hopefully) SSD.
