@leocg I can't maximize it either. The opera icon is in the taskbar, but clicking on it only brings up a thumbnail. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing Opera, but still have the same problem.

@marleycat Do you use more than one monitor? Or used to do it?

@leocg the opera icon is on my tsk bar; if the cursor hovers above it a mini image of the page is visible. When you click the icon the the page does not maximise.

@leocg I'm having the same issue as well. I can hover over the toolbar and see a preview of the window, but I can't maximize it. I can't even alt-tab to get to the window, all I get is the desktop.

@marleycat Seems to be working now. I ran AVG tune up, then deleted opera, then downloaded opera all appears to be well at this time.

I had the same(ish) issue too. But in my case it seems to be related to n external monitor that wasn't connected anymore. Yesterday I worked with an external monitor and just put the laptop in standby.
Today I was away and initially everything was working fine. The windows I had open, were all on the laptop screen. However, when opening a new Opera window, I could not see it. Only the thumbnail on the taskbar was there.
After restarting opera and restarting the laptop, things were still the same.
Changing display settings to pc-only didn't help either.

Finally back at home I connected the monitor again and there was my Opera window.

Unfortunately this won't help the people in this thread who don't use / never used a second screen.

@flash5099 Did you try exiting full screen?

@leocg No emoji has the mouth widely enough open to display my amazement at the simplicity of the solution you just provided. Just a reminder of the keys to press for entering/exiting full screen:

1. Alt+space bar
2. X
