              the problem happens when i try to download something
              Step 1: try to download
              step 2: chose the folder to save
              step 3: doesnt do anything
              I've tried disabling Firewall, and anti Virus and re-installing the browser
              (on Microsoft Edge The Download Works Just fine)

              Opera Version: LVL2 (core: 72.0.3815.487)
              System:Windows 10 64-bit (Version: 20H2 , OS Build: 19042.746)

                @loveygoo The same problem happens in regular Opera? What about other browsers and programs?

                Does it happens no matter the folder you choose?

                  @leocg just tried the regular opera yeah it does the same thing
                  it only happens on the Opera Browsers no matter the folder i choose, Microsoft Edge works just fine i haven't downloaded firefox or chrome to test them too but i think they work too

                    @leocg it looks like it does have privileges or something from stopping it to download things its not like the header says "crashing" the window just closes without starting the download

                      @loveygoo Can you check on Chrome or Vivaldi or other Chromium based browser to be sure?

                      Does the problem happens with any kind of files?

                          @loveygoo Install Opera Portable, don't change anything on the installation and check if the problem happens with it also.
