This is on a new pc with the latest version(70.0.3728.106) and I've searched all over the forums and none of the suggested fixes work, I've tried turning my anti-virus off(malwarebytes), clearing downloads list(even though that's not even a fix) and restarting my pc. They are definitely not failing and it's happening to even something as small as an image, is there any way of disabling this feature somewhere if there isn't a solution as I literally don't care about it telling me about failed downloads, I just don't want an eyesore in my taskbar or have to restart opera every time I download something.

Unless there's some hidden settings or something I could do to completely disable it as I've never seen or needed it before in the 5 or so years of using opera.
