      @katsikopoylos Then it shouldn't be messing with your D drive.

          @katsikopoylos Did you also removed your data when you uninstalled Opera?

              @katsikopoylos Enable the PID in Windows task manager. Then, in Opera, go to menu > Developer > Task Manager (or use Shift + Esc) and try checking which process is using the disk.

                      @katsikopoylos You need to compare the info in Windows task manager with the one in Opera's task manager as I said, and enabling the PID column in Windows task manager allows you to do that.

                      So, basically, you expand the Opera GX process list in Windows task manager and check the process that is using the disk mostly and take note of its PID.
                      Then in Opera's task manager, you check the process ID column to identify what is the process with same number of the PID.

                        @leocg oh, i get it. I checked it and task manager reports that it's the PID 2212 (Opera GX Internet Browser) and Opera's task manager says that that id is the browser. 6b108f8f-d758-49bc-8f77-7e752308e7f9-image.png 405f840f-3dd0-4d40-84e3-871bd528a0fc-image.png i couldn't make it lag as much this time but you get the point.
