      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.

                  @leocg Thanks for answer but what it means "running the installer solves"... 🙂

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

                        @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.

                            Yesterday there was a problem with updating Opera. The update is downloading but not installing, what should I do? After clicking on "Restart", the opera restarts with the old version and offers to restart again

                                        @leocg I managed! Thanks

                                        But the question remains, why did the opera refuse to be updated? Although before that everything was fine, but something happened from version 85 to 87

                                          @coder There could be lots of reasons.
