@michaelk123 The installer crashed or Opera crashed?

@michaelk123 Do you see the same files/folders in the version folder between mine and yours too?

Note: You can click "View" in Windows Explorer (File Explorer), goto "Show", and turn on the showing of file extensions and hidden items. That will help in general with troubleshooting stuff in the future.)

@burnout426 Yup. All the files the folders contain are the same with the exception of the file itself being named "85.0.4341.51" and mine being named "85.0.4341.65"

Just in case the --disable-gpu switch isn't working right, and even though my standalone installation loads fine, try this with your regular Opera GX.

Open up the "Local State" file in the profile folder with JSONedit in tree mode. It should be located in "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera GX Stable".

Right-click on "root" and choose "add child". A new child will appear at the bottom under root.

Make sure the new child is selected. In the right-hand pane, set the new child's type to object and set its name to hardware_acceleration_mode.

Then, right-click on the hardware_acceleration_mode opject and choose "add child".

Make sure the new child is selected. In the right-hand pane, set the new child's type to boolean, set its name to enabled, and set its value to false.

Then, save your changes.

That will disable hardware acceleration like you would on opera://settings/system in the UI.

@burnout426 said in Opera GX Not Opening:

The following doesn't look normal though, but the messages don't help.

Update to new version can help you

My only issue I'm having is I can't open it directly, I have to click a link in order for it to open.
