      I just installed OperaGX and every time I want to open it, it immediately crashes. I only see the animation thing when I try to open it but then it won't do anything else. I also looked in the Taskmanager wether it was there or not, but I couldn't find anything...
      What could I do to fix this?

              Is anyone here making use of the Microsoft Family feature (Mircosoft Family & Safety) in Windows (Settings > accounts -> Family & other users in Windows 10, parental controls I think in Windows 7)? If so, that's likely the problem. Opera is being blocked access from running (which causes it to start and close) and you need to allow it in the family settings for each user.

              See the edit in this post for more info.

                    • Cant figure out the version but it should be latestOPera gx sc.jpg
                      So the problem is that when I open up opera gx the web doesn't show up It opens up in task manager and as you can see the opera gx loading animation shows up but as soon as the animations done nothing happens. It work for me before when I first got it but after uninstalling to update the web didn't work anymore so i uninstalled it for like 5 months and now trying again and still doesn't work. I even tried looking inside task manager to see if it was stacking there but there's nothing there so i don't know what to do. I tried most of the steps on the post talking about opera gx problems but look like it still doesn't work.

                        I just installed Opera GX so I have no idea what the version is.
                        Whenever I launch Opera GX it goes through the logo sequence with the chime, after that a window pops up for half a second and then instantly dissapearsThelogochime.PNG ^^The Logo sequence

                                Whenever i try and start Opera GX, it either immediately closes or it plays the start up intro then never opens. Tried uninstalling and re installing and it does not help. Had this problem in the past, reset my computer recently and still isn't working. Any solutions?

                                    My Opera does not turn on, and more precisely, when turning on, there is a sound and the Opera Gx logo, then a white window pops up for about 1 second, then it turns off. I have already tried to install it and uninstall it with various programs to no avail, recently I even replaced the disk in my laptop and even though it is still the same problem.

                                        @leocg In my case, disabling the firewall does nothing, as well as reinstalling OperaGX with various programs, running as administrator and in compatibility mode, and even replacing the disk on the device.

                                          First for the info, I am using windows 10 and am trying to run the newest version of Opera GX. So, about a year ago I installed Opera and Opera GX on my computer. I had a great time using them until about 2 months in when I just couldn't open them. It would just flash for a millisecond like a window was going to open but it then immediately closed. This happened with both Opera and Opera GX. I tried restarting my computer, uninstalling and reinstalling them, as well as deleting my user data and reinstalling. Recently I've gotten a new PC so I decided I'd try and open Opera GX. I tried and the exact same thing happened. I tried then with Opera and it happened again. I really want to use Opera GX but I'm not sure what to do. The fact that it has followed me from one PC to another makes me think that it has to do with my windows account but I have no idea.
