Opera completely freezes itself and a windows 7

It's not a sleep issue I checked with cmd
It's not an event issue - I just shopped on Amazon for ages, went away for 20 minutes, returned and Opera froze. Nothing registered in events until I rebooted.
"A request to disable the Desktop Window Manager was made by process (Opera web browser)"
But checking back after booting that looks to be standard
But, as | said other browsers don't freeze.

Two independent ideas to check:- disable Opera battery saver
- disable graphic hardware acceleration in Opera

Thanks.I disabled battery saver before last freeze.
I'll try next with acceleration disabled

Still freezes everything.
Pity GX is so dark/garish - that's working fine.

LindenColl, do you use the uBlock Origin extension ?
I was having similar problems a few weeks ago with Opera freezing after around 10 minutes of inactivity. I couldn't identify the cause.
But when an unrelated problem developed which I could pinpoint to uBlock Origin, I reinstalled that extension and I have not had the freezing issue since.

Thanks, but it freezes with or without ublock.
Looks like it could be a sleep issue after all - tab snooze!
I dsabled this option, browsed for a while, left three tabs open, then took a long break for a meal and this time no freeze upon resumption.
For a moment it looked like it was going to hang as a menu took a tad too long to close, but then all fine.
I'll see how it goes.

@lindencoll The option to disable tab snoozing seems to not be working.
For now try going to opera://discards and un-check the option for auto discardable for the tabs.

Sadly, it didn't work - everything still freezes.
I notice it says chrome://discards/, in fact the chrome:// prefix can be substituted for opera - chrome://flags etc
Looking like I'll have to enable retain tabs and remember to shut down before taking any breaks.

A logical conclusion,EspeciaIly as I just checked Chromium Ungoogled discards which has auto tab discarding enabled and doesn't freeze.
Opera is lighter and faster on my system though, hence my looking for options to rectify this freezing.

But, one last try in this vein (which could also be useful in other ways)
I decided to check up on Chrome instead of Opera.
"The new solution to current tabs freezing during idle or sleep is to change the Chrome flag for occlusion from Default to Disabled. Hopefully that helps anyone else having this issue."
Opera has the same flag.

Only solution thus far is to remember to close Opera when I take a break from the pc, or brave the garish darkness of GX.
Mouse movers don't prevent the big freeze.

@sgunhouse said in Opera completely freezes itself and a windows 7:
@lindencoll Sounds like the computer may be trying to go to sleep, but something is preventing it from doing so properly.
Finally sussed it.
I got fed up and after disabling both sleep and hibernation it doesn't freeze itself or the system.
Not too clever a solution tho'.
