<![CDATA[System Settings window opens on starting Opera]]>Since updating to Opera version 38.0.2220.29, every time I open Opera, the Windows 10 System Settings window also opens displaying the Default Apps tab. Opera is already set as my default app for web and mail. Does anyone know how to stop this happening please?

in fact the shoorfandrey's solution works very well, thanks !

To set Opera as the default APP for Mails (in Opera settings: mailto => mail.google.com, and in Windows default APPS => Opera), when restarting Opera it doesn't work the Windows Default APPS reopened again.

Any idea ?

It means that Opera already set as default brauser. Maybe you do wrong on step 2: http://fileinfo.com/img/help/windows10system_settings.png "Reset to the Microsoft recommended default"

Re-setting to Microsoft recommended default did the trick Thank You.

There is no need to use other browsers. Solution:

  1. Open Opera.
  2. In Win10 system dialog choose: default settings for all applications.
  3. Close Opera.
  4. Open Opeara. Enter Opera settings. Choose "browser" -> "Set as default browser".
  5. Now in just opened Win10 system app associations dialog choose Opera browser for web navigating.
  6. Done. Restart Opera.

Hi I tried the instructions above but fall short when I get to No 4 I don't have the option to choose a default browser! take a look at this screen shot https://postimg.org/image/nwjmc01mf/ and tell me what I have done wrong please.

From my understanding, it is something to do with the API to Windows that Opera uses to set itself as the default browser causing the issue. However, Chrome has fixed this issue with the API. Therefore, I set Chrome as the default through Windows Settings > System > Default Apps, then opened Opera and selected 'No' when asked if I wanted to set Opera as the default, and checked not to show this message again. I then closed Opera, opened Chrome, navigated to any web page, then closed Chrome. I then went back into Windows Settings and set Opera as the default, opened Opera and NO SETTING POPPED UP!! 😃

Hopefully this will work for you too! - Please let me know if it does and I will post the solution on other forums to help others having the same issue.

Thanks!
