<![CDATA[Opera slow after an update]]>Opera automatically updated itself as soon as I switched on the PC this morning and now, pages are diabolically slow to load. Not just one, or a couple, but ALL sites that I visit.

It wasn't like this last night before I closed down for the night, my internet connection is superb, there have been no changes to my Windows 10 PC.

So, what have you done? This is a nightmare to use.

Opera is to slow. Tabs take long time to load, pages are unresponsive.
Version:74.0.3911.203 - updated today.

That way it'd make it a little easier on you to test in that Opera. Up to you though. You could also disable it in your normal Opera right when you get the problem to see if it makes any difference.

I use Lastpass constantly, so I would also have to start copy pasting all the usernames and passwords during that test. That means hundred of copy-pastes a day.

It is not consistent and happens pretty randomly. And like @ab-garcez said it also happens from different sources, like clicking link from whatsapp etc. I also noticed that If I close the problematic tab and re-click the link, it does not fix the issue. Sometimes waiting for few minutes can help and then the link is opening fine again...

I do not have Opera VPN enabled and Lastpass is only extension that I use. (beside the Operas own Ad-block).

If I click a link from Google result, it takes 5-30 seconds to load the page

The same thing is happening to me for a few weeks now.

It happens everywhere: opening a link on a pge, opening a Speed Dial link, opening a link on a new tab.

It's really inconsistent. It doesn't happen on any other browser.

Download the Opera installer, launch it, click "options", set "install path" to a folder named "Opera Test" on your desktop, set "install for" to "standalone installation", uncheck "import data from default browser", and install. Test in that Opera, but do not import anything, do not enable Opera Sync, do not install any extensions, do not enable adblocking, and do not turn on Opera's VPN?

If you still have the problem, as a test, create a new user account on Windows, log into it, do a standalone installation there, and test Opera there. The problem might be limited to your user account.

This sounds similar to the issue mentioned at https://forums.opera.com/topic/31561/solved-website-loading-lasts-lond-with-cpu-load-on-cryptsvc, but not quite the same. How old of a build of Windows 10 is everyone on? Anyone having this problem not on Windows 10?

If I click a link from Google result, it takes 5-30 seconds to load the page. Sometimes it just gets stuck and doesn't ever load the page. I have been using the Opera since 2001, but this bug is a deal-breaker for me.

But at least for now after going back and forth between version 69.0.3686.49 and 70.0.3728.106 I don't see the problem on the latest version anymore. I hope it somehow fixed itself.

You don't even work for Opera and you have the arrogance to threaten me and likely others, that they'll be banned from this forum?

I see through clowns like you every day.

You have nothing to do with Opera, so you can't help myself and others who are having this problem, so I respectfully suggest that you butt out and leave it to the big boys who actually CAN fix it.

Sometimes is snappy like always, sometimes takes longer. At the moment its not frequent. Maybe my antivirus was scanning the opera files after the update.... Maybe that's why it was taking longer. I ll test it more...

This is not happening every time.

If you are unable to read what's posted in this forum without having the need to post self explanatory questions, then that's your problem but don't ever try and threaten me. If Opera don't fix it, then I stop using Opera, simple as that.

Or is that too difficult for you to understand too?

I'm just trying to understand what do you call slow, if the browser is slow at a whole, if just page loading is slow, if it's maybe something else.

Well, I will not waste my time. Follow the instructions

but my first guess would be that your antivirus (or firewall) is treating new Opera executable file as threat and checking every action, request etc.

But it seems that doesn't get approved. Anyway: disabling the updater doesn't actually disable the updater after two restarts of the browser it still just updates without asking 😢 Im offically switching what is the point of and executable flag if it doesn't work!

How can Opera be 'normal' if we're all reporting the same problem?

I think you're just trying to waste my time. All the information that Opera needs is on this thread.
