<![CDATA[Opera closes down automatically after exactly one minute]]>Dear Opera fans,

Opera closes down automatically after exactly one minute. First I thought it was caused by my installed firewall/anti virus Comodo that had put Opera in the container, but I have now a clean installation of W10 20H2 and with only Defender.
Opera version 72.0.3815.400. It looks like some teasing virus, but I have a clean installation and only updated W10 with the internet connection. And installed Opera. That’s it. With Edge no problems. Before the problem occurred I had worked with Opera in the same installation for many months and for many years before. I have looked at the settings in W10, but can’t find anything that could explain this very strange behaviour. Any wiskids in da house?

I’ve reported the problem as a bug to Opera. Hopefully they will take action and solve this problem. In the meantime I use Vivaldi or Edge.

After reading some of them I can conclude:

• I’m certainly not the only one with this problem. 
• The problem exists already more than half a year.
• It exists in muliple Opera versions and operating systems.
• Suggested solutions may sometimes work. It looks like trail and error solutions.
• Opera hasn’t fixed the problem themselves.

Now I know it’s definitely nothing that I did wrong I now have installed Vivaldi developed by two former top managers of Opera. If this works well I stick to it. If not I keep using Edge or look for another browser again. I don;t want to spend too much tome on this since it’s a known problem.

Diezi,

OK, Tkx. Then there is probably no relation. Leaves the problem of Opera closing down automatically. Anyone else?

The item about the camera I found in this forum with title: how to get opera to stop trying to access my camera. According to a friend it might be that Opera tries to access my camera after one minute and if it can’t find it closes Opera down. Too farfetched?

I doubt it. I have disabled my camera on my laptop with Windows 10 and I don't have any problems with Opera.

No, nothing at all, just a clean installation, changed some settings in Windows in Privacy and Update, ran Windows update and downloaded and installed Opera. That’s it. Isn’t it weird! Oh, after that I downloaded some camera drivers from the Microsoft store to trie to get it back working. But the problem was already there before that.

Online or offline, actively working with Opera or not, it will just close down. I don’t even have to open a website, the startscreen is enough. Strangely, being away with the laptop en returning home I start the laptop again and it is still busy with installing a new update for Defender. I open Opera and it doesn’t close down now and stays open! I am happy pappy. But because there is a icon on the taskbar that says that the computer had to be restarted to install the updates I do that. And, guess what, Opera now closes down again automatically after one minute. WTF?

I also have a problem with my webcam and I found something on the www that Opera needs to have access or needs a camera? Is there a relation between the two problems? Anyone?
