<![CDATA[Opera hangs itself when asking where to download]]>Windows 10.
Latest version of Opera(auto-updating)
No add-ons or extensions.

Starting this week, when trying to download files, Opera seems to freeze. It's not really frozen, but it has hung itself when asking where to download. It becomes unresponsive and chimes when clicked on. However, there is no way to move or minimize the browser window to get to the download location window. Additionally, the download location window is either not spawning or not displaying, and cannot be reached via shortcuts.

I wouldn't expect it to effect downloads, but you can try that.
