Do Windows Key + R and paste -"%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Opera GX\launcher.exe" -uninstall (with the -uninstall, don't delete anything)

Make sure that Delete my Data is UNCHECKED and uninstall the app.

Download an old offline installer from the links - 64 bit OR 32 Bit:
x64 - https://ftp.opera.com/ftp/pub/opera_gx/73.0.3856.438/win/Opera_GX_73.0.3856.438_Setup_x64.exe
x32 - https://ftp.opera.com/ftp/pub/opera_gx/73.0.3856.438/win/Opera_GX_73.0.3856.438_Setup.exe

Disconnect from the internet and run the installers

Do Windows Key + R and paste -"%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Opera GX\73.0.3856.438"

From there delete the opera_autoupdater.exe, and do the same from 73.0.3856.438_0 or similar if they exist

Run Opera GX normally

Dream on till your dream comes true

I recently installed opera gx and got everything setup. After I restarted my computer I realized that opera would rarely open and if it did no pages would load. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and also logging into a local windows account instead of using my microsoft account but nothing seems to work.

Well. I installed Opera GX 76.0.4017.227 and whenever I opened a new tab in Opera GX, it will guarantee to randomly crash either when I type into a search bar, after doing nothing for 1 - 2 minutes or just immediately after startup. What I've done:

• Delete all extensions (except adblocker).
• Reinstalling the profile and cache folders.
• Already checked that my microsoft account does not belong in a family according to this reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/comments/j5fstq/opera_opera_gx_not_opening_or_opening_and_closing/
  And that's it. btw while typing this, Opera GX just crashed randomly again. Thanks for the help.

I kept on seeing these ads about this cool gaming browser and I thought it would be cool to check it out and after downloading Opera GX I opened it and I cant even do anything it does the logo boot up then just closes itself. How can this problem be resolved? Thank you for taking time out of your day to read this.

@friicee Any error messages? Checked with Task Manager to see whether or not the process is still running? Some specs on the system might help too - OS and version, video, drivers up to date?

@sgunhouse There are no error messages and task manager doesnt even put it up. Windows 10, Version 20H2 (OS Build 19043, 1348). My video card is a RTX 2060. How do I check if my drivers are up to date?

@zom-b-allan I'd uninstall and reinstall Opera GX (don't choose to delete your data when uninstalling) first before trying anything else.

If you have to, add Opera's install, profile, and cache folders to the Windows Defender exclusion list. The paths are listed at the URL opera://about. You can also exclude by process (exe name or specific path to exe name) to exclude opera.exe, launcher,exe, opera_autoupdate.exe etc.

When ever I try to open Opera GX a blank screen will pop up then close immediately. I'm using windows 10 and trying to use the latest version of Opera GX. The program was working fine 2 days ago but stopped working yesterday. I have tried re-installing the application in new locations, restarting my pc, making exceptions in my antivirus, and updating my drivers and so far nothing has changed.

I just reinstalled Opera GX and this time the app won't open. I click on its icon, and a screen with the Opera logo pops up. Then, there's a white screen that starts blinking until it closes.

This link is a short video to show the problem happening (sorry, I used my phone to record it lol): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BjjdxnUn6bHkdKhlYXAh7OtWVeqFHTnF/view?usp=sharing

Good afternoon, could someone help me? Yesterday I had installed a driver to capture my ps3 controller, but when I ran opera gx it stopped working. I have already cleaned the computer, removed this driver, reinstalled and uninstalled opera and installed it again, but it just opens 4 blank screens and then closes. I've cleared the cache too and it still won't open. If anyone can help me, I'd appreciate it.

OBS: I already pressed some commands like alt + space etc and nothing

I'm having similar problems with my Opera Browser, this only happened yesterday. I've also been re-installing by the browser, but to no success. Then I ran into another problem while looking into the Task Manager: whenever I try to open the browser, it shows up on the Manager page and then disappears. What is going on? I may have to wait a few days/weeks until I find a good solution, but that is way too long! The browser was working fine a few weeks ago, and suddenly stopped!

I have recently had the same problem and I think I have found a fix. Instead of reinstalling simply run the opera GX uninstaller and hit repair.
