Opera doesn't download exe files

@leocg I tried downloading with a newly installed opera, without extensions and with the original settings. Nothing has changed.
The file will be downloaded almost entirely, but when it should be saved to disk, I see the message: Aborted: Blocked. (I translated the failure message from my language - it might be slightly different.)
However, when I set the type of the file to be saved instead of "executable" on "all files" and delete the exe extension from the file name, the file is saved.
So opera has no system permissions to store executable files.
How would I change that? I use windows 7. I installed opera just like firefox, firefox downloads, not opera. -

@sgunhouse Unfortunately I checked it first and nothing helped.
I use "PC tools firewall plus". I tried to turn it off completely, nothing changed. Then I deleted and re-set the rules for opera, again without effect.
I don't use another such program. -

I keep getting the following error messages "interrupted download error"
I can download files in other browsers such as Vivaldi - in fact used Vivaldi to download the OPERA offline load.
I like OPERA and do not wish to change. my current is 62.03331.116
