      hey,
      since I upgraded to w10 like 2 or 3 days ago,
      I constantly get this issue, when I first launch Opera, it crashes,
      tho it ONLY happens the first time I run opera, it's like "hey if u wanna use me, u gotta lemme crash once first",
      I don't really understand why it happens, yet I had few other issues with that w10 upgrade which was the reason I didnt want to, but all hail Micro$oft for throwing w7 away in a year.

      any idea to get it not crashing on first launch ?

      video of it happening : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oe0PbKCibpI&feature=youtu.be

      thanks and have a good day

            @sgunhouse even after a clean reinstall it still occurs, tried 2 different setups, tried with no tabs open, tried with tabs reopening, seems to happen only when Opera reopens previous tabs, after the crash all tabs are clear,
            any idea ? ( besides disabling tabs reopening obviously, I don't really mind the crash, I just want not to loose the tabs I was on hehe )

              Yet after crashing once, it'll remember your tabs until reboot?

              Next question - you use Windows Defender or other security software?

              If you wait a few minutes after rebooting before starting Opera, it still crashes?

              My first guess is that some software (likely Windows Defender) is messing with your profile. No idea why, though.

                @sgunhouse hey, so to answer all your questions :

                1. after the first crash it doesnt remember my tabs ( which is the point that annoys me )
                2. I use windows defender only
                3. i'll tell u abit later

                I dont know either, seems weird tho because this issue only happens the very first time,
                if that was a Windows Defender related issue my guess is that it would keep crashing everytime I open it with saved tabs, I may be wrong but that's what makes the most sense to me

                  The first question was that if you quit Opera after the second launch, it would remember your tabs from that session on the third?

                    @sgunhouse oh sorry my bad,
                    yes it remembers my tabs by then, it's only the very first launch on windows startup that deletes my saved tabs
