Re: Sky Go App for Windows 11 not working properly
It certainly sounds very unreasonable that they do not make it easy. I only upgraded from my Windows 8 PC which was perfectly good because SkyGo stopped working on Windows 8. I AM finding the new computer better but I spent hours trying to get SkyGo on the Windows 11 computer. Since my very long posts above on this thread it has continued to work fine so the issue is over for me but surely when they stopped it working on Windows 8 an email to all subscribers with detailed instructions as to exactly what you need to do/download to your Windows 11 computer to make it work and other devices on which people watch should be sent out as a matter of course (just as last month BT moved me from an analogue landline to Digital Voice and there were lots of warning and then very detailed instructions on the new modem and how to use the new modem with the landline device etc).
I am probably unusual in that my adult sons use the TV with all the sky set up etc for which I pay and I only ever watch in my own room / office on my PC on SkyGo.
I hope anyone still struggling gets theirs to work. Mine is now fine so far....

This worked for me:
- Launch the Sky Go app.
- Go to Settings, then Updates.
- Tick the Beta option.
