I don't have chrome but I tried those same steps using both Microsoft Edge, and firefox, no dice. despite disabling the default browser check opera STILL brings up the settings window constantly.

Hi Weyouny, I believe you have to use Chrome, using the steps I have outlined above, as Chrome does something to fix the API problem which is effecting both Opera AND Firefox.

downloaded and installed chrome, tried your fix again, still doesn't work. uninstalling chrome (and possibly opera if this keeps up, so bloody annoying)

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.

It means that Opera already set as default brauser. Maybe you do wrong on step 2: http://fileinfo.com/img/help/windows_10_system_settings.png "Reset to the Microsoft recommended default"

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

Hi,

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 ?
