        @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?

                See https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/comments/j5fstq/opera_opera_gx_not_opening_or_opening_and_closing/ for what you can do to help Opera find the problem and fix it.

                    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

                                      Whenever i try and start Opera GX, it either immediately closes or it plays the start up intro then never opens. Tried uninstalling and re installing and it does not help. Had this problem in the past, reset my computer recently and still isn't working. Any solutions?

                                          My Opera does not turn on, and more precisely, when turning on, there is a sound and the Opera Gx logo, then a white window pops up for about 1 second, then it turns off. I have already tried to install it and uninstall it with various programs to no avail, recently I even replaced the disk in my laptop and even though it is still the same problem.
