Bottom line, users of Opera 123 (I use Opera One and have the same issue) shouldn't have to jump through hoops to install a stable working update.

worked for me! do i really need to remove the -no-experiments though? wouldn't it help me avoid future bugs?

@dordob Thanks. Opera needs more controlled source control because stable version shouldn't be this unstable every update brokes some things.

@dordob Method B worked but the next time I have to open the problem persists. Hope this gets a fixed soon

As someone in I.T. its wild to me this dev team pushes out so often an update that renders the entire browser unusable. I had to go through Chrome just to get here to find out what was going on. Really frustrating to have to go through this more than even one time, starting to debate on going back to the nightmare that is Chrome.

not working for me... even after changing compatibility to Windows 8/7... I no longer have a blank screen, but every page (including settings) displays an error message after loading... I tried reinstalling Opera and updating my graphic drivers, but it still doesnt work.

@CzechRepublic98 Put compatibility back to default, start Opera in safe mode, reset your flags at the URL opera://flags, close Opera and start Opera normally.

@azimli52 You can make a standalone installation of Opera GX to a folder named "Opera GX" on your desktop and use that till you figure out what's wrong with your normal installation.

@azimli52 You can rename the "Opera GX Stable" folder in both "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software" and "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Opera Software" to "Opera GX Stable old". The start Opera.
