It doesnt always find a available update, I am just on the normal chain / release of updates (standard versions not beta). I think this issue may be fixed after yesterday's update. My CPU and memory usage has dropped back down to around where it used to be previously.

update every few days so

How do you " update every few days so" and from what (source build, release, etc)?

I closed all the windows and restarted or do you mean manually closing every tab?

I didnt disable the extensions or try a clean profile.

The reason why i asked if i could go back to a previous build was because it wasnt like this today till i updated it. Straight after i updated it and it restarted is when this issue came about. I update every few days so i was on the version just before the current one that must have been released in the last couple of days.

Did you check with extensions disabled? What about a clean profile?

Yes, you could install a previous build and see if it changes anything. But wouldn't solve the problem at all.

I have tried closing down and restarting 3 times and still the same issue. Should I go back to the previous version of opera? Is that possible?

Thanks mate, I did that. The top one is Opera Browser at 1.8Gb (Cpu fluctuates from 120-85), then its Extension:Background worker at 1.2gb (CPU is around 0-9) , the third item is GPU process: at 1Gb (Cpu is around 1-40).

The rest are 200 and lower for the grouped and individual tabs.
