If you are suffering from the Black Screen issue while using Sky Go, Download this Batch File

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_k9tjowvSRRwsC6Xjcg07K-5YNolXftg/view?usp=sharing

Place it on youre desktop and when sky go is running on your PC, right click the downloaded file and click run as admin.

This will end the 2nd Proccess in the Sky Go Tree in Task Manager and you video should appear.

I dont know if this will work for everyone and it is only for PC users.

Hey Buddy,

I just wanted to post to say that this worked amazingly! stuck trying to watch the footie with black screen, reinstalled , run as admin etc no joy.

Ran the script during play and boom!

FYI to anyone unsure on the bat file its just some notepad text, I work in IT and its totally safe.

Cheers @murphy0207

Genius - Works a treat. Been struggling for months. Thank you. Maybe one day Sky devs will apply a fix in the app...

You Sir are a legend 👍.I've been having this issue for literally months.I've even resorted to installing Windows 11 Home rather than 11 Pro at some expense too.This link works a treat.Now to play it through HDMI as this was working perfect but not now for some reason.If only Sky would allow 3 mini boxes to work at once I would have a happy household as we already have these.Thank you very much,you win the internet award for the year 😁🎖🏅🏆🍾

Worked for me (3 attempts), but still a pain as if you fast forward or rewind, you have to do it all again. Sort this out Sky, we PAY enough for this service................😡

Why bother with the batch file? Just press Ctrl. Alt. Del. to pop up the Task Manager and delete the Sky Go subtasks from the bottom upwards until you see the video.
