Built-in PDF viewer is not working

Since the recent update (Opera 85.0.4341.60, windows 10), the PDF viewer does not work for me. For example, when I visit https://arxiv.org/pdf/2204.02984.pdf, it shows:

I try to uninstall and reinstall opera, disable plugins and delete all the profiles, but no change.

I try to install the older versions (including 81-84), the PDF viewers work fine.

Any comments?
Thank you in advance.

@lintao51 Does it work in Chrome, Edge or any other Chromium based browser? What about non-Chromium browsers?

Dear @leocg ,
It works fine in following browsers (Windows):

• Google Chrome 100.0.4896.75
• Microsoft Edge 100.0.1185.36
• Firefox 99.0

According to this link, I also create a HTML file in local. Except the Opera 85, others work fine.

I had tried to remove all the paths, including "Install", "Profile" and "Cache". But the problem still exists when using Opera 85.

BTW: I also test with Opera 85 (macOS 10.14.6), the problem also exists.

Thanks.

@lintao51 I've just opened that PDF here in Opera without any problems.

%APPDATA%\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Local State
open as notepad
find in
