@leocg: Has anyone re-posted this issue in the Opera for Windows forum? Is this a known issue? I’ve been experiencing this in the same timeframe, too.

@avl: I’m continuing to experience this issue as well with 51.0.2830.55 in Windows 10. Is this a known issue? Other users here are reporting 100% CPU usage for the messenger sidebar window as well.

Hello.

Here is the temporal fix, waiting for an update.

Steps :

1 - download this : ftp://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/desktop/51.0.2830.34/win/ (The autoupdate)

2 - After the installation, close Opera. Add this to your Shortcut : "--disable-update" (without quots)

 This should looks like this : "C:\Program Files\Opera\launcher.exe" --disable-update

3 - Start Opera. Enjoy

^^^^^^^^^EDIT ^^^^^^^^^^ (You can delete my previous post, I didn't found the edit button)

Steps :

1 - Uninstall Opera (do not check the box or you'll lost bookmarks and everything http://prntscr.com/iw18uj ). You'll lost extensions because of the downgrade, so make backup (for Tampermonkey for exemple...)

2 - download this : ftp://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/desktop/51.0.2830.34/win/ (The SETUP x64)

3 - Install Opera throught the new file. Then add this to your Shortcut : "--disable-update" (without quots)

This should look like this :

 "C:\Program Files\Opera\launcher.exe" --disable-update

4 - Start everytime Opera with the edited shortcut. Otherwise Opera will do updates. Download back your extensions and Voilà : http://prntscr.com/iw18kx

Thanks so much for the detailed instructions and warnings, @charoki60 —So refreshing to be using a version of Opera that works properly again! It’s quite distressing how much the experience has deteriorated since that release. I hope Opera is taking note of these issues and working to restore this functionality. Thanks once again. Cheers!

@charoki60: With this version are you also having issues with Windows 10 failing to associate (not allowing) protocols and file types with Opera (For example: http/s)?

@charoki60: Are you also noticing that WhatsApp continues to be sluggish in this version? I would have expected it to perform as well as FB Messenger, but somehow it’s still lagging badly for me.

@kaprikorn26 Hello ! Unfortunatly the high cpu usages and typing freezes were back the next day even with my "fix" for me Maybe you should try to downgrade ever more. I'll give a try if I found the motivation lol, it pissed me off

I found a solution for myself on another site. Running Opera for mac 56.0.3051.52
Turns out the Amazon Honey extension was causing the lag. Disabled the extension....no issue....hope it helps others....was very frustrating.
