IMHO, I would suggest to deactivate the Opera build-in ad blocker and try again

I am experiencing the same issue as explained by the original poster. It has been now two weeks. Toggling opera turbo helps most of the time. But it is a constant nuisance. Really thinking of moving away at this point.

I'm still having problems - disabling built-in ad blocker is not helping. I have no idea why this is happening and it's driving me crazy! I love this browser and don't want to quit, but I have to wait 5-10 minutes before start up to use the browser and that is a major drawback. Cannot find anything related to my antivirus that could be causing this.

What kind of antivirus/setup do you have? I'm wondering if we have something similar that could be triggering this that we could use to narrow down what the problem may be.

In your initial comment, you stated that upon opening another browser, the problem with Opera 'magically' clears. In a comment you made on May 8, you said the same problem occurs with Vivaldi as with Opera on your system; as you noted, those are both chromium/Blink-based browsers, whereas the 3 problem-free browsers you listed are not. You also indicated the problem mainly occurs after a computer restart or shut down. Finally, you described not wanting to wait 5-10 minutes before starting up the browser to be able to use it properly (which implies that with a sufficient time delay, things eventually do get sorted out in the system).
I've not encountered anything before quite like what you're running into. Given that most Win10 users of Opera aren't reporting the problem, it's most unlikely that it's an inherent Win10 issue or an inherent Opera coding flaw. Given that it also occurs with another chromium-based browser (Vivaldi), it's obviously not just an Opera problem. That leaves your system itself and/or your software suite as candidates. Given that the problem primarily occurs surrounding a browser and/or system restart during an early (5-10 minute) interval thereafter, it appears related to chromium-based browsers on your system not being able to initiate a successful connection to your computer's network port.
For Opera (or any browser) to properly access websites right after it's started up, the Windows network interface code module(s) between the browser and your Internet connection port must be properly triggered by the browser, connect with your computer's network chipset, complete all related actions, and then acknowledge that to the browser. All that you've described seems as if there's something blocking/delaying that full connection process from occurring on your system when a chromium/Blink-based browser has just been initially started up, especially right after a system restart. Use of a non-chromium browser seems to correctly 'jog' the appropriate Windows module(s) and the network chipset to properly do their thing immediately, making them also then available for Opera or at least notifying Opera of their availability.
Obviously, anything that sits between Opera's code and the computer's network port can interfere with any part of all that has to occur. If Opera (or any chromium browser) isn't appropriately registering itself with Windows upon its installation, that can certainly prevent the timely activation of a network connection. Likewise, other elements in the registry can improperly interfere with proper usage of Opera's registration entries by Windows and impede Opera from establishing an initial network connection. However, once a network connection has been successfully triggered by some other browser (or by Windows itself via its startup telemetry handshaking back to the Microsoft mother ship, after a time), Opera may then be free to immediately jump on the now-established connection. Because chromium/Blink browsers utilize multiple processes, their registry entries will be somewhat different from other browsers, so flaws or various other entries may affect or interfere with them differently from other browsers.
I realize this doesn't solve anything, but I offer it simply to provide some thoughts about the processes involved and where things may be going off the rails.

I'm also having this problem. I have tried Opera, Chrome and Vivaldi, neither works. Internet Explorer and Firefox work fine. So, this seems to be a blink-related problem. Have you found any solution, blooddiamondkim? Only changes to the system prior to this issue were installing Libre Office 5.2, Mp3tag and Gimp. I'm running Windows 7.

I Was just having a similar issue after updating my Opera browser and certain websites would not load the right way or just "normal". Long story short...i right clicked on the background of the webpage that did NOT load properly and selected inspect element from the menu that shows up and then clicked on Network and then checked Disable cache and then did a reload of the website i was having trouble viewing and the website reloaded appearing "normal". I then unchecked Disable cache and reloaded the website again...and it reloaded looking "normal". So i guesss i got lucky. I hope this approach may help some of you with similar issues. GOOD LUCK! :devil:

Does that workaround fixed other websites network?
It's an inconvenient to have to do this for every website.For those with the problem:
If the workaround not solves the problem try:
Opera Portable at PortableApps.com and check what happens.
BTW have a look on Proxy Settings, OMenu > Settings > Browser > Network > Proxy Settings
As weird as the problem.
