How to update skype contacts between android and windows desktop?
I have skype installed on my android phone and on my windows desktop.
When I add a nr in the skype on Android it is not showing up on the skype on my windows desktop.
In android I did Settings > General > Accounts > Skype > Sync now.
In windows I don't understand how to force a sync.
Any suggestion?

Your contact list is stored online nor locally on your PC.

So I have to maintain the contact list on different installations manually?

Because you not give a solution so the conclusion is then it is not possible which means I have to add the same address in two devices.

I was seeing the same thing until I quit Skype on the destination computer (the one I wanted contact changes to by synced TO). Then the changes showed up.
Be careful - skype is hard to actually quit. Closing the window won't do it. You have to go to the pull down and select 'File / Quit' to make it actually quit.
