Is there a way to disable automatic updates of Skype?

When I am doing a time-critical task, I do not want to sacrifice
bandwidth, CPU resources, or disc timing for any updates. Furthermore,
I prefer to log any changes to my PC and then archive the update file.
I cannot do this if an application updates without my prior approval.

It would appear that the ability to turn off updates has been removed
from the latest version. Not surprising, as it's now a Microsoft
product, like Windows 10, where the same applies.
