Opera freezing when Youtube is in full screen.

Hi, I am at my wit's end with Opera. I am about to dump it and go over to Brave But I like Opera's speed tile format and I have used it for some years now so I am going to have one last shot at fixing the problem my PC is having. Details:
Windows 7 running 16gb RAM (I've kept 7 because I want access to Windows Media Centre as the setup is a Home Theatre PC)/
I have the latest version of Opera. I have turned off hardware acceleration. I have reset Opera to its factory fresh condition. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program...same problem. I have updated my Nvidia GPU drivers. I have run SFC and the machine checks out AOK. The problem persists.
What happens is this: If I use Youtube for more than a few minutes in full screen the videos suddenly freeze as if I have paused the video. Then I can minimise the screen using the keyboard (not the mouse) But if I try to open a new tab nothing happens, Opera acts as if the internet has dropped out. Note that this does not happen in Edge, Firefox and Brave, just in Opera. I then have to drop out of Opera and restart the browser to get it going again. Any advice gratefully received. -

This post is directed at the owners of Opera. Why have a forum when no one seems to be able to help? This is a serious problem and I have read of others facing the same tribulations. Is there no fix at all?
