Opera stopped opening links from external sources such as in emails since it updated to 'Opera One(version: 102.0.4880.46)'.
I have tried disabling extensions etc. I did set edge to be default browser and it opens links in emails but if i reset opera to be default browser nothing happens.
I have resisted a reinstall so far as find the opera sync never works very well and it takes me ages to get it running properly again.

102.0.4880.51 is out. You can try it to see if it works fine.

I would do some testing though if that doesn't help:

Hit Windows key + r to open the run dialog, type cmd and press enter to open a command prompt.

In the command prompt (while Opera is set as the default browser), type:

start "test" "https://example.com/"

Does that example.com page open in open in Opera? Try with Opera already opened and with Opera closed to see if there's any difference.

Then, goto the URL opera://about in Opera and take note of the "install" path so you know where its launcher.exe file is at. Then, in the command prompt, try:

"C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera\launcher.exe" "https://example.com/"

for example.

Does that at least work? Try with Opera already opened and with Opera closed.

There is something odd going on, I tried the update and it seemed to install OK but at the end when I clicked 'relanuch now' it went back to the same page saying "Your version is 102.0.4880.46" and "Restart Opera to update to version 102.0.4880.51" and it seems to be stuck in that loop now. So I haven't tried any of your suggestion's yet.
It seems to be looking like a clean install might be needed.
I then found I couldn't submit this reply from opera and had to do it from ms edge.

Have done a clean install of 102.0.4880.51 and all seems to be working OK now. Just have to set it all up again.
