Wonder if it's possible and good to go back to aniversery update. Do you have any expierince witch that?

It would be something to be discussed in a Microsoft or Windows related forum, not in an Opera's one.

On my HP ProBook Win 10 laptop with Creators update, Intel HD Graphics adapter, VPN blue icon only works WITHOUT hardware acceleration.
So the VPN problem would seem to be at least partially dependent upon the graphics hardware on any given device!

I never thought the "allow hardware acceleration" could be the source or part of the problem. I will check it out. After the Creators update, absolutely nothing could enter or leave Opera except for the Opera auto-update that could check the browser version. I finally unchecked the VPN and voila, now it works. However I do longer have a VPN. Could the good folks at Opera please post: (Opera - VPN for Creators Update - How to Connect to Internet.)

I'm Microsoft and Cisco Certified so yes I know what I'm doing 🙂

This is a Opera/Chromium Problem

Version information

Version: 44.0.2510.1218 (PGO) - Opera is up to date
Update stream: Stable
System: Windows 10 64-bit

Browser identification

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/57.0.2987.133 Safari/537.36 OPR/44.0.2510.1218

Like I said my Dell 64bit without the Creator Update worked fine until I updated Opera to the newest version
So this is telling me there is a coding bug in this new Opera update

This computer I'm on now like I said above does have the Creator Update

Thank you and Opera Please fix this problem

I'm on an old laptop (Pentium T4600 + onboard graphic) and since updating to Creator Update none of the functions mentioned above work (or maybe "100% invisible" like kryouck said above). Had to turn the hardware acceleration off to make them function normally like before.

Nothing help except disabling hardware acceleration (I tried change parametres at the about://flags).
My specs: 1st generation i7-640M with integrated Intel HD Graphics. I tried default W10 drivers 8.15.10.2900 and the latest 8.15.10.2993.
We need patch for windows or chromium browser. Not sure if Opera can fix it

I still think this is a Creator Update problem as before it worked and my Dell doesn't have the update on it and it works right.

This system has Intel(R) HD Grahics with the newest drivers from Intel

As I don't use Windows drivers as almost all the time they are outdated (When you get the right drivers your system will fly)

This system boots and shutdown very fast, and 98% of the software on this computer is 64bit

Again I do Thank you very much for trying to help - You Rock 🙂

This is on my Computer with Windows 10 Creator Update (64bit)

My other Computer with Windows 10 Anniversary Update (64bit) works Great

I'm thinking this is a problem with the Creator Update

I hope I am giving the information right (I would use BB Posting Codes, but it doesn't look like this forum uses them)

Again Please forgive me if I'm not posting this right as my PSTD is very bad and I try my best.

I do Thank you all and I Thank Opera for a Great Browser 🙂
