        @aquarigger Hi! Could you please add environmental variable like "OPERA_CRASH_EMAIL=your@mail.com"
        It will be helpful to get an info from you. I suspect some crash at startup. Thanks!

            @flymah14 Hey! I have few questions regarding this problem. We are trying to solve it 🙂 Do you have some AntiVirus software installed? Could you please check the installation directory. Default is c:\Program Files\Opera GX\ or c:\Program Files\Opera\ there is a file installer_prefs.json, please open it and check what value do you have of "single_profile": - true or false? Thanks in advance!

                @jryc ok so I have an antivirus installed now but when I first tried to download it I didn't have it
                the install path that is automatically used is C:\Users\harcs\AppData\Local\Programs and the single_profile value is false
                please let me know if there is anything I can do
                my computer is a dell and my os is windows
                my friends have all been able to install it without a problem and I would very much like to know why it is happening to me

                  @burnout426 The widget folder is located in Opera\widgets. You need to locate it and then rename or remove it.

                      @naheed said in It won't open:

                      The widget folder is located in Opera\widgets.

                      @burnout426 So sorry, I think I haven't guided you properly. So, the folder is located in somewhere Program Files or C:\Users > [username] > AppData > Local > Opera > Widgets. Check it and let me know if it helps.

                        @naheed Such folder doesn't exist. There aren't even widgets in Opera.

                          I just installed OperaGX and every time I want to open it, it immediately crashes. I only see the animation thing when I try to open it but then it won't do anything else. I also looked in the Taskmanager wether it was there or not, but I couldn't find anything...
                          What could I do to fix this?

                                  Is anyone here making use of the Microsoft Family feature (Mircosoft Family & Safety) in Windows (Settings > accounts -> Family & other users in Windows 10, parental controls I think in Windows 7)? If so, that's likely the problem. Opera is being blocked access from running (which causes it to start and close) and you need to allow it in the family settings for each user.

                                  See the edit in this post for more info.

                                        • Cant figure out the version but it should be latestOPera gx sc.jpg
                                          So the problem is that when I open up opera gx the web doesn't show up It opens up in task manager and as you can see the opera gx loading animation shows up but as soon as the animations done nothing happens. It work for me before when I first got it but after uninstalling to update the web didn't work anymore so i uninstalled it for like 5 months and now trying again and still doesn't work. I even tried looking inside task manager to see if it was stacking there but there's nothing there so i don't know what to do. I tried most of the steps on the post talking about opera gx problems but look like it still doesn't work.

                                            I just installed Opera GX so I have no idea what the version is.
                                            Whenever I launch Opera GX it goes through the logo sequence with the chime, after that a window pops up for half a second and then instantly dissapearsThelogochime.PNG ^^The Logo sequence
