      Hey!

      Most of the time when I use my PC, I have an Opera browser open on the side, and on a few occasions I find my mouse not moving anymore.

      When this first happened, I tried closing everything using my keyboard to restart my PC and when I Alt+F4-d every instance of the Opera browser I realized that suddenly my mouse started working again.

      I wish I could give you any information about how to make this error happen, but sadly I do not have a clue what makes this happen. On a side note: my PC is not a potato.

        Firstly, you need to confirm when exactly the mouse stops working. For that, you need to use click test (https://cpstest.pro). Close All opera instances and try clicking on the test. Then Opera and try clicking again. See when does your mouse clicking exactly. If Opera seems to be an issue, open Opera, go to Settings and reset all settings. Now check the mouse again and your issue should be resolved.

          @gr3gyx I have the exact same issue. The mouse hangs, freezes, judders, whatever you want to call it only when using Opera browser.

            I have the same problem but once I close opera it still doesn't work. i don't like restarting my computer either because it unusually updates without permission then it takes forever to do so. I don't know waht to do
