<p dir="auto"><strong>Your version of Opera</strong>: 74.0.3911.203</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>A description of the problem, including as much as information as possible</strong>: When I click on the X button to close the browser, it just doesn't close</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Expected behavior</strong>: Browser should be closed, when I click on the X button, as it was for many years, and all other apps and programs do.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Actual behavior</strong> : It doesn't close. The browser doesn't close. When I click on it, nothing happens. It doesn't tell me anything, doesn't ask anything, just doesn't do anything</p>

<p dir="auto">If that doesn't do the trick, test in a <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/wiki/opera/new_profile" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">standalone installation</a>. If Opera works fine there, you know it's something with your profile. If Opera doesn't work fine there either, goto the URL <code>opera://settings/system</code> and disable hardware acceleration. When you kill Opera and start it back up, goto the URL again and make sure hardware acceleration is still off. If not, kill Opera and modify its shortcut to pass <code>--disable-gpu</code> to launcher.exe. If that doesn't work, I'd look for issues outside of Opera.</p>
<p dir="auto">Now, if you find out it's your Opera profile that's causing the issue, I would goto the URL <code>opera://about</code>, take note of the  "profile" path, kill Opera, and delete the 3 history files in Opera's profile directory. You'll lose your history of course, but that might fix it as those files recently got corrupted for some users.</p>

<p dir="auto">Doesn't work too.<br />
Google says it's Ctrl+Shift+X, is that right?<br />
If yes, then doesn't work too</p>

<p dir="auto">Yes, they work correctly. Only the X button sometimes doesn't work. Like, if I opened the browser just now, I can close it with that X button, but if I try to close it after some time, like few hours, then it doesn't close. So I either have to close it with Task Manager, or CMD Taskkill command</p>

Also It seems that opera has some serious resource consumption issues. When i open a chart in tradingview[.] com, it gets absolutely unusable after a few minutes eating a lot of CPU and memory. I do not have the issues with any other browser.</p>
