After Win 10 Creator Update - VPN and other icons don't work

Have nothing new to add, but.. yeah, happens to me too.
I'm on an old laptop (Pentium T4600 + onboard graphic) and since updating to Creator Update none of the functions mentioned above work (or maybe "100% invisible" like kryouck said above). Had to turn the hardware acceleration off to make them function normally like before.

My Dell computer that doesn't have the Creator Update worked with the "hardware acceleration" turned on, but I just did "About Opera" today and it updated to version 44.0.2510.1218 (PGO) and now "hardware acceleration" has to be turned off for VPN and Ad Blocker to work (I also turned off the 3 Extensions to make sure that wasn't the problem).

I'm Microsoft and Cisco Certified so yes I know what I'm doing

This is a Opera/Chromium Problem

Version information

Version: 44.0.2510.1218 (PGO) - Opera is up to date
Update stream: Stable
System: Windows 10 64-bit

Browser identification

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/57.0.2987.133 Safari/537.36 OPR/44.0.2510.1218

Like I said my Dell 64bit without the Creator Update worked fine until I updated Opera to the newest version
So this is telling me there is a coding bug in this new Opera update

This computer I'm on now like I said above does have the Creator Update

Thank you and Opera Please fix this problem

Pop-ups with acceleration on: add -disable-dwm-composition to the shortcut until chromium devs fix this issue

Same here! I never thought the "allow hardware acceleration" could be the source or part of the problem. I will check it out. After the Creators update, absolutely nothing could enter or leave Opera except for the Opera auto-update that could check the browser version. I finally unchecked the VPN and voila, now it works. However I do longer have a VPN. Could the good folks at Opera please post: (Opera - VPN for Creators Update - How to Connect to Internet.)

On my Cube i7 Book Win 10 tablet with Creators update, Intel HD Graphics 515 adapter, VPN blue icon works WITH hardware acceleration.
On my HP ProBook Win 10 laptop with Creators update, Intel HD Graphics adapter, VPN blue icon only works WITHOUT hardware acceleration.
So the VPN problem would seem to be at least partially dependent upon the graphics hardware on any given device!

It would be something to be discussed in a Microsoft or Windows related forum, not in an Opera's one.

just tried it out. In my case enabling gpu blacklist didn't help, but the hardware acceleration made it now.

Thanx for informations
