Well you will have to upgrade to Windows 11 shortly anyway so it's worth doing to see if this fixes your issue with Sky Go.

That would be a reference to the Cisco 'Videoguard' digital rights management system built-in to Sky Go. The founders of Cisco Systems Inc basically invented modern computer networking.

 

The advice is usually this:

 

Uninstall the Sky Go app and then go to 'C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming (ensure hidden files/folders are visible) and delete the following folders:

 

Sky

Sky Go

 

And, if it is present, delete the Cisco and/or Synamedia folder in \App\Data\LocalLow

 

Empty your recycle bin.

 

Reboot your PC and then download and install the Sky Go app again.

Re: Sky go desktop app not working on windows

Ok this worked for me on windows 11,

Go to START bottom left hand corner, of desktop,

Then click on your pc name ,bottom left hand corner,

Then click on change account settings,

Then click on APPS ,

Then click on INSTALLED APPS,

FINDS THE SKY GO APP and click the 3 dots at the end of that line,

And then click on uninstall,

After that reinstall sky go.

This worked for me when it kept closing down the app when trying to update,

Hope it helps some users good luck.

Re: sky go

I tried to do a system restore on my computer taking it back to another date hopefully when sky go was working,unfortunately it didnt go that far back,i know someone mentioned on here  to use windows 11,but i did read somewhere that someone had trouble with sky go on that has well,annd it does seem a number of people have sky go crashing on them sometimes.

@sweetheart4321  If you're in a minimum term you can't and shouldn't stop payment simply due to a Sky Go issue as you are still receiving the service you pay for on your Sky TV boxes.

 

You can certainly expect all services with Sky to become restricted very quickly due to this.
