        My WiFi was out all day yesterday and since it came back Opera wont open. It tries to run for about two seconds and then auto closes.

        I’ve tried reinstalling, restarting, updating my drivers, pretty much everything I (and google) can think of. I’m stumped.

            Does anybody have a fix yet? If not, when will they fix their app?

                  Yeah I've been getting the exact same problem; when I woke up this morning, it opened for about 10 seconds, and I was really happy, but then it crashed again. Previously, it hadn't got past the splash screen. I tried to uninstall, repair, reinstall, disable autoupdate, roll back to a previous version, but it still hasn't been working. I hope this issue is fixed soon, since clearly a lot of people are having this problem.

                          I don't know why but I can't open opera gx. I tried using --disable-extensions, reinstalling, repairing but it doesn't work. If I try opening opera gx it will just crash. I also tried using chrome and brave(chromium) and it won't work. The only browser I can use is edge rn
