Skygo unusable after Windows 11 24H2 clean install

I’ve been using Skygo with Windows 11 24H2 for a while now as an Insider and, apart from the occasional Appcrash already reported here, has worked OK. As 24H2 is now generally available I decided to do a clean install on my Dell Inspiron 3530 laptop. Although that went fine, I then found major problems with Skygo. Although it starts OK, as soon as you select a channel, it tries to display it but locks up. It may sometimes start showing the channel but is unresponsive to all commands.

 

Restoring the C drive from an image taken beforehand restores Skygo to working order even though the version of 24H2 (2152) is the same for both installs.

Re: Skygo unusable after Windows 11 24H2 clean install

I've tried to contact the apps team via apps@sky.uk but the only response I've had appears to be an automated one which advising that I go to the troubleshooting guide. 

 

The laptop involved is a Dell Insprion 3530 with 10 CPU cores, and at one point it was using 35% CPU and 1734 Mb of memory when all I had on the screen was the TV Guide page with no program playing. Took a couple of minutes to exit the program. For information here is the Windows Task Manager display at the time.  I simply don't know how the program can be consuming so much resource when it actually isn't doing anything.

Apolgoies for the delayed response.

 

I've found that the problem can be fixed by first clean-installing Windows 23H2, and then allowing Windows Update to update that to 24H2. Bit of a faff but it does work as I've done that on two quite different PCs. 

 

I did raise a complaint with Sky and had a long web chat with them.  Explained that it's very easy to reproduce and was promised all the information would be sent to the technoical team.  No response back so far.
