      Each time I run Opera I see window with default program configuration: http://screencast.com/t/o85mzHUgwxm. It opens each time and drives me crazy. How to get rid of this?

      To start Opera I click on shortcut linked to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\launcher.exe".

      Opera is my default browser: http://screencast.com/t/pRnUx0QImJD.
      I use Windows 7
      I use Opera 39.0.2256.48

        There are other topics about that issue, maybe you can find something there.

          The only thread I found is this: https://forums.opera.com/topic/16423/opera-on-windows-10-acting-strange
          It's closed and it ends with: "Oh, never mind, I will use some other browser... Who cares... Anyway, thank you all for your time!"

          I didn't found solution, so if somebody knows something, don't hesitate to help.

          I found out, that setting panel is not showing up, if I run Opera as Admin user (with I don't want to do, obviously).

            OK, problem is solved for me.

            I opened Opera, windows setting panel showed up, like always.
            I change default browser to Edge and default mail program to Mail.
            Then I closed Opera, opened it again and setting panel did not showed up!
            So I closed Opera, opened Windows setting by myself and changed Opera to my default browser.
            And everything works.

            I'm quite sure I tried this before, so maybe some magic is involved.
            I hope I helped somebody.
