        @proshor Games. Games do that all the time. As such it's no surprise the offending program is called opera_gx_splash.exe — It's a feature from Opera GX gaming browser. Where it made sense. It makes absolutely no sense in an office Browser.

          I also wonder, why does the main folder locate by default in C:\Users\Username\Appdata\Roaming, and the .exe-file - in the different folder: Appdata\Local\Programs?{C41E5F94-A2DA-4E6C-90F8-241FFE36E288}.png.jpg

            @proshor It's normal on Windows softwares, the (user) data is located in a separated directory than the installation one.
            It helps keeping data if you need to make a new installation.

              @leocg said in [Suggestion]Option to disable splash screen at startup:

              Like in Opera GX, the animation should run only after an update

              No it should not. That's the point. It should not exist.

              Bug or not, it went from being irritating on every update to being irritating on every startup. Well done, Opera. It's still irritating whenever it runs.

              I've been using Opera as my default browser since last century, but this is irritating enough that I created this account (and consented to Opera collecting and using my information without any way to opt out) just to complain about this one thing. I am looking at other options, because of this one thing.

              Imagine having to endure a splash screen and listen to a little song every time you opened your refrigerator, or looked at your watch, or looked in your sock drawer.

              Just stupid.

              (As a dev though, I suspect this is not the devs' fault. This is marketing. This seems typical of middle management trying to justify its existence.)

                    Is there a way to turn off the sound Opera makes on start up?

                      I consider, the installation by default usually takes place in C:\Program Files

                          I think, I understood, There're two .exe-files: launcher.exe and opera.exe. I should try to create shortcut just "opera.exe". Maybe, it'll work. I must wait for the nearest update to check.

                              @flimsyjake opera_gx_splash.exe is only on GX.

                              Workaround does not work on Opera One aka vanilla aka regular aka Tab Island aka Aria aka AI Opera.

                                      Goto the URL opera://about, take note of the "install" path and close Opera. Then, delete the opera_gx_splash.exe file in the latest version folder in the install folder. Repeat this after each update until the issue is fixed.

                                      The intro flag at opera://flags is for the opera://intro page and has nothing to do with the splash screen.

                                        (Show Hidden Files in Windows)
                                        go to
                                        C:\Users\User_Name\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera\Version_Number\ (find the last version)
                                        find opera_gx_splash.exe and delete it
                                        Restart PC if it doesn't work immediatly

                                        Another way is this, but I tried and it didn't work

                                        In the address bar digit
                                        opera://flags
                                        it opens a "secret" setting page;
                                        in the search bar (top right) digit intro; it appears Opera One Introduction
                                        click in the drop down menu ed choose "Disabled".
                                        In the page, bottom right, click on "Relaunch"
                                        Restart PC
