Hi I'm new to forum and have a question that seems really stupid but ..
I'm pretty tech savvy but for the life of me I cant find out how to get my win 10 pc to open automatically when i boot.
I want it open so i dont have to go to task bar and manually open it.
99% of time i only use pc to browse web
please help
Thanks

Did you add Opera to "autostart" ?
You can go to Opera folder under "Program files" where the Opera.exe is and create an shortcut, than copy it to autostart folder (Win+R then type shell:startup).

On the next boot Opera should load.

@stevemclachlan Take a look at C:\Program Files (x86) then.

@stevemclachlan In Opera, click on the Opera icon at the top left and then go to Help > About Opera. There you can see where Opera is installed.
