I Installed:

python-3.9.6-amd64.exe

And did that:

Move this repo's contents into your mpv scripts folder.

On console:

[sponsorblock] Python was not found; run without arguments to install from the Microsoft Store, or disable this shortcut from Settings > Manage App Execution Aliases.

I tried uninstalling, restarting, installing again, it doesn't work.
(WIndows 10 Pro 64Bit)

Keep in mind the fork @super-lurker linked will leak every single video you watch to the SponsorBlock server.

Learn how to install python, it's a google search away.
If for whatever reason you only have the py launcher or something, you can set the python_path script option.

By "every single video" you mean only youtube videos, right?
Not local files?

I installed python, but apperently there's more to the install than the normal install file.

Ok, quick update, I got python installed thank to this:

I needed to run the installer as admin and mark everything to install.
Thank you!

Yes, only YouTube videos (including local files downloaded with youtube-dl) get leaked by that fork.
Glad you got it to work.
