      OK I found the problem.

      After I reverted to the 122 version, I changed the angle flag from OPENGL to DRD11 and now it works fine in the updated version.

        And another note, after 30 minutes of working on Opera I just realized why I had switched to OPENGL instead of the DRD11.

        OPENGL is much more smooth and better, DRD11 lags quite a bit.

        Hope this will be addressed in the next update?

          Anybody knows what the issue is?

          Yes, same here.
          Its the file called Local State located in "..\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable" causing this issue. If you delete it, Opera starts normally but all the tabs (and who knows what else) disappear...
          For me its not the solution, so i am sticking to the Opera_122.0.5643.142 for now...
          Hope this will be fixed soon.

                Opera One.

                The last version where the OPENGL config works perfectly is 122.0.5643.92

                The 2 versions after that have the same problem

                  Ok, I did that, and Opera One installed correctly. Couple things:; A few of my Speed Dial icons that have multiple links in them have empty images in the icon, and the other question, after you installed O 123, have you tried setting the Angle flag back to OPENGL?? (I tried setting the ANGLE back to OPENGL and the same grey screen reappears, making Opera in operable. I will just wait until the next iteration

                  Here's an image of one of them

                    You also can modify the config file:

                    -Close Opera
                    -Open "Local State" with text editor
                    -Find string "use-angle@1" and change it to "use-angle@0"
                    -Save it and start Opera

                      I think I will wait for the next update, instead of trying to correct it myself. O 122 works just fine for now

                            I am using the version 122 with OPENGL because the versions 123 and 124 won't work with OPENGL and they lag too much under DRD11

                            So waiting on an update. I have to reinstall the 122 version every time I close Opera as it runs the update by itself every time

                              @ngocevski rename or delete "opera_autoupdate.exe" in "C:\Program Files\Opera\autoupdate"

                                  Same issue here with 123 update!

                                  A work around for now is to downgrade to 122 (you can find that here https://get.opera.com/ftp/pub/opera/desktop/122.0.5643.92/). For Windows you want Opera_122.0.5643.92_Setup.exe and just run the exe. After installation immediately close the browser and go to your opera installation folder and rename opera_autoupdate.exe as @KotTHECat suggested.

                                  Waiting for future update that fixes this. Huge F up!

                                    No fix for the moment, any way to know when it will be fixed?

                                        If I change to DRD11 the latest version works but lags way too much
