      Can't get Opera to open after Windows 10 upgrade yesterday. I have tried to re-install it using 3 different browsers and once the install is complete the icon does nothing. I deleted the program but I can not remove the Opera stable program. I am not tech savoy, so please keep it light ...thanks

        @dilynn25 Ok, from reading on this forum, maybe it wasn't a windows update, it might have been a Opera update. All of the sudden I got a message that I need to restart my computer and then it said it was updating and afterwards I couldn't open Opera. I've deleted and installed it 7 times now and I've run all my virus, and tune up programs and still I am unable to install Opera. It goes through the motions for installation and at the end I get to a screen to set up my default app, which has an Opera icon but does absolutely nothing. Please help...

          Were you using Opera Stable? There was no update yesterday. Some people have had issues with Developer though. Oh, and updating Opera never forces you to restart your computer.

            @sgunhouse Thanks for your response. I am not sure what the update was as I was just walking past my computer and it said it needed to be restarted so I said ok and then I saw it was updating. I usually don't worry about that stuff. Once it restarted my Opera was not accessible. I was able to delete an Opera app but the Opera stable app can not be deleted.

                Windoww or a security program - my AV requires a restart at times.

                  @sgunhouse I'm thinking it was an AVG update because AVG became my browser. I deleted the program/app afterwards but I still can't download Opera

                    @dilynn25 Ok, well, I'm going guess that there isn't anyone here that can help me...I guess this is goodbye to my beloved Opera browser....Sniff, Sniff It was a great run while it lasted...

                      @dilynn25 You had just replied here and also it's the weekend.

                      Back to the subject: Do you see Opera listed in the task manager after have tried to run it?

                            @dilynn25 So the problem is that you can't download Opera or the problem is that Opera doesn't run?

                                @leocg Opera goes through the motions and then just ends with my computer settings page and an Opera icon on my windows 10 screen that does nothing

                                        Maybe you should try the offline installer.

                                          You could try uninstalling, then pressing Windows + r then write %appdata% then look for the Opera Software folder and then delete it. Try installing again

                                            @albiceleste101 Thank you I just tried what you suggested but in roaming it only gave me the option to move to my recycle bin...
                                            I could not find a way to uninstall in that screen once I chose Opera
