Opera using too much memory

moapp last edited byI have Opera 45.0 on a Windows 10 laptop with 8Gb of memory. 
 While I love Opera as a browser, it is eating the memory on this laptop to the extent that even File Explorer fails to open until I shut down Opera. Task Manager is showing nearly 100% memory usage in this scenario.
 All is good then for a while but when I re-open Opera, eventually I end up with the same problem.
 I'm only talking around 6 or 8 tabs open when this happens and none of them are doing anything stressful like playing video for example.
 Without Opera running, memory usage is usually around 40%.There seem to be a number of posts on Google about fixing the problem but none of them are applicable to Opera 45.0.

zalex108 last edited by adminWelcome to Opera's forums @Moapp! For memory problems just rest around 7 hours +/- and keep away from tech devices for an hour before going to bed... 
 Forgive...
 and keep a healthy live... :rolleyes:For Opera 45 Memory problems... 
 Do you use any extensions?Try disable them, cleaning cache and also a clean profile and test it for a while, read the Back Up info too. 
 Edit: 
 Leo's suggestion could be faster... for Opera xD

brucewol last edited byThis has been an on and off problem for the last 4 months, Memory problems and then it's fixed for a few weeks and then comes back. During that time I get windows updates and sometimes opera updates. Needs to get fixed permanently or I'm going back to firefox.
