Anyone had and solved a problem with Sky desktop player ?

I'm with Virgin Media and can watch Sky Sports on my laptop via Virgin TV anywhere. You can get it on 2 devices.
Sky introduced a new way of viewing via needing to install a new(ish) desktop player.
I tried to view yesterday after installing the player and was either getting error code 7005 or it played, but almost like in moving frames, as opposed to a properly flowing picture. The picture starts ok when it's out of focus, but after a few seconds when the focus became sharp, the picture just reverts to as I've described it.
It's the same on Google Chrome & Internet Explorer and I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling both Microsoft Silverlight and the desktop player.
I've also done numerous malware scans.
It appears to be a common problem on forums and Virgin Media couldn't resolve it.
I'm on Windows 10 and the laptop is only 6 months old.
I installed the desktop player on my son's laptop and it works fine.
Has anyone had and resolved this issue ?
Thanks in advance.

So far as I'm aware neither Google Chrome nor FireFox work with SKY Go now
I used to watch it on my Desktop using both Browsers yet support for both has been removed, only Internet Explorer works now (nor does Microsoft Edge work)0 -
According to Sky, IE, FF & GC should now work. I checked.0
