<![CDATA[Opera GX/Opera installers crashing when trying to download.]]>Hello,

I've been at my wits end for a while now so I thought I would just head to forums to fix it. As the title says, every time I attempt to download opera gx or opera it will be open for about 10-15 seconds no matter what I'm doing in the installer. Then just crash.

Here is the info the posts require.
OS: Windows 10
Opera Version: Latest from website download page

I currently have no idea how this happened. I used opera GX for about 3 months then stopped for maybe one month? Then when I came back, it keep crashing after about 15 seconds of use. So I uninstalled and reinstalled and that did not fix it. I tried downloading Opera and the same thing happened. There is no error message, its like it just closes the tab. I have tried a full hardcore uninstall by finding all the Appdata files and deleting them. And I've tried almost every solution I could find on google. So hopefully yall have a solution.

Thanks,
Matthew Smith

Second I attempted to do standalone installation again with the download from the link you sent me and it did not even let me click the download button before crashing.

and it did not even get to the download started screen

If you got the installer from the ftp.opera.com link I mentioned to make the standalone installation, it's an offline installer and doesn't have to download anything and doesn't require an internet connection. If that's the only you used, ok on the crash. If you didn't that link, try again with it.

I do not have any of the programs listed. I used to have avast installed but deleted and uninstalled it a while ago. That's about it.

Have Bitdefender, Avast, or Kaspersky installed on your system?
