<![CDATA[Can't make Opera 20 defalut browser in Win 8.1 x64]]>Good day!

Opera 20.0 is not listed in Windows 8.1 x64 browsers, though I installed it on clear system.
There is no possibility to make it a default browser. When I click "Make Opera a default browser" in Opera options menu, a window with "Find a program in Windows 8 Apps shop" and "Internet explorer" to chose from appears. No Opera browser there.

Are there any variants to solve this problem?

Thank you.

The setting is listed under the third heading in the options page for me.

I don't think it's OK for developers that installation "for all users" is the only option to make Opera default browser. Tell me if I'm wrong.

Let me wait for this DNA-19636 is resolved before I reinstall Opera for all users (will it be resolved? 🙂 )

Thank you everyone!

There's a slight chance Microsoft changed that in 8.1, but that's what I had to do during install on my Windows 8 laptop.

Regular for "all users", "current user" or "standalone (USB)"?
Only the option for "all users" will register Opera in Windows as a program eligible to become default browser.
