      Temporarily create a new user account on Windows (local one not tied to a Microsoft account), log into it, download Opera, run the installer to install Opera for that user and test how things work there.

      That will tell you if the issue is with your user account or system-wide. You can delete that test account when you're done testing.

        If all else fails, you might have to reinstall Windows.

              In Windows, under “Settings -> Apps -> Advanced App Settings”, what is “Where to get apps” set to?
