      @jeremynwest Okay, I know how to back up the necessary files, but how do I add them to the recovered Opera browser?

          @leocg Never mind. I recovered the browser. It did not fix the problem.

            @jeremynwest That means some security software (anti-virus or firewall etc.) is interfering. Either that or you have malware on your system.

              @burnout426 That might be the reason. It works on my personal computer but the computer I'm talking about is managed by my school. Any ideas to fix it?

                @jeremynwest Not sure. I'd just subscribe the RSS feed at https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/ so that you know when a new build of Opera Stable is out. Then, you can just download and run the installer when you want to upgrade.

                    Okay, thanks. I am sad to say I've switched to Vivaldi, as Opera does not appear to operate correctly on my laptop.

                      I had this problem on my work PC earlier in the year and, as suggested, re-running the installer fixed it. But why does it sometimes happen in the first place?

                        To solve your problem, you need first to download the Opera installer, and open it after installing it. Now, set the install path to your current install and choose "upgrade."
                        Or, uninstall Opera and choose not to delete your data. Then, reinstall.

                          @naheed Thanks for trying to help, but I've switched to Vivaldi because Opera just doesn't work well on my laptop.

                            @jeremynwest Thanks for your reply. So, sad that Opera doesn't work on your laptop.
                            I hope the Vivaldi will work great on your laptop.

                                  @larah Usually running the installer solves the problem.

                                      @larah Exactly what was said, if you run Opera's installer, usually that problem is fixed.

                                        @leocg I'm writing about Opera for Windows so the latest version is already installed..

                                          @larah And how did you install it? Running the installer.

                                          So, run it again to have the issue fixed and get the new update if there is one.

                                            @leocg When i open the web page, already i'm reaching the update page so i get the new update but gives error and this problem is not mine so must be their server's problems.
                                            Apparently how hard it was to explain this simple problem:) Ok, Thanks again.
