@dordob third option worked perfectly, but when i try to rename it back to opera.exe, it will keep crashing the second i open it, i restarted my pc that has w10 but still wont get fixed, i can only use it with opera1.exe and not opera.exe, a bad part about that is that i cant set it to ''default browser'' on my pc because it doesnt recognize it.

@mrcube same here, the exact same thing happened to me. I can open opera gx using the third option. None of the others worked. But I can’t set it as my default browser and I can’t open links with it.

Hello. Nothing from the list helped. Tell me, please, are you already working on this problem? When will it be solved? I can't work without my beloved Opera GX

@TeRVaN I guess it's more of a Microsoft issue, since other browsers are also affected.

But Opera is probably already working with Microsoft to solve the problem.

I am still able to use my opera and my opera gx browsers on my desktop, but for some reason I cannot get it to work on my laptop. I have even tried all these solutions and nothing seems to work. I have uninstalled and reinstalled both browsers, updated my laptop, cleaned my drives out, defragged my drives, nothing seems to work. I'm hoping that someone can find a solution for this, I have contacted opera support about it as well but can't seem to get a response back. I would like to have the opera browsers back; I love them and much prefer them over any other browser. Unfortunately, if this issue persists then I will have to find another browser.

@leocg the one they have on the website, I have however tried renaming it one more time after the update on my laptop and that has fixed my issue as far as I can tell.

@LordMaverick05 Thanks for the info. This is not Opera's issue if the same version works on your desktop PC. What OS are you using on your laptop?
Please try downloading Opera GX from Microsoft store.

@LordMaverick05 I don't see any link there where you can ask for direct support, only the ones to report issues.
