      @windbags Have you tried disabling synchronisation?

      Struggling to find how to that! (almost 2am!)

          Answering my own question:
          O-menu-Settings-Synchronisation-Sign out
          (even though it was the sign-in that was failing)

          They seem to have broken the sign in!!

          Sad that this had to be posted via Chrome ! :-0

            How can I go back to 66?

            You can read through https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/wiki/opera/rollback_version to see if it helps.

              @AnthG don't know if you're still monitoring this thread.
              When I had this problem, I just let Opera " wait for program to respond" rather than "end program"
              Be patient, it can take several hours, or even overnight.

                I Can Confirm This Worked For Me As Well.

                  @windbags, you have to be quick when you do it, but when you open, copy and paste this into a new tab:

                  opera://settings

                  From here, go to your search, just type "sign", and the first thing that pops up should be to sign out of your account. It's a pain, but I've found that, for the moment, synchronization is completely broken.

                    @windbags Have you tried peak4's "solution"?

                    I had sync disabled since the update but I just tried signing in again and it worked for me, too! "Several hours" seems a bit extreme but I did have to wait 5 minutes on a sluggish laptop and 1–2 minutes on a less sluggish desktop PC for Opera to respond again. After that I was logged in and everything had been synced.

                      It may well depend on how many tabs you have open at the time it hung.
                      For various reasons, and it never normally causes issues, I was probably running with 100+ open at the same time, maybe a lot more.
                      I've not tried it yet, but the latest version of opera has something called Workspaces available as a plugin or something, which might let me organise things differently.

                          I agree, that seems to be the issue in 67/win x64.
                          Removed the sync and everything works without ANY waiting.

                            I had a few tabs, as I always have several "tasks in progress" that need the info, but nothing like that many. I did try removing ones I thought I could easily retrieve, but after three goes I was getting fed up of it "not responding".
                            Waiting for minutes/hours/overnight on the "hope" of eventually getting a response is not the mark of a useful browser - especially when Windows 10 updates keeps forcing me to restart the system.

                              I've had the problem three times now, and in each case, it's when Windows has decided to do a major update in the background without telling me.
                              It's almost as though Opera is using a file in Windows, which the update changes on the fly, and then Opera gets its knickers in a twist.
                              Maybe because I normally have so many tabs open, otherwise without issue, the file update causes something to re-sync which then fails.
                              even when I save all open tabs to a speed dial folder, it doesn't take long, maybe a couple of minutes at most.
                              It's also noticeable that when Windows is updating itself, Opera Crash Reporter (or whatever it's called) itself crashes.
