I deleted the old one and installed this one, everything worked. Guys, if you are tracking the group, I recommend restarting it. I don't know what they changed, but now everything works.

At the end and after many trials, I messed it up so badly that I wasn't even able to install 102. I couldn't make the necessary log file to send the opera developer team, maybe if you can still generate the log you can share it with them and hope for the best.

Finally I downloaded the Opera GX, online installer, and it installed without any problem.

What makes you think that this is related to the windows update? My program crashed right when I updated Opera. If the problem was in Windows, then in theory the old versions wouldn’t work either.

I didn't have time time to send my log file to Opera, I will do it as soon as I can. I just hope they can use the log data to patch this bug or provide a guide that help us to get out of this situation.

If you encounter persistent issues, you might consider uninstalling your current Opera version and then installing the latest version from scratch.

The problem is already fixed. Just update your 2023-11 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 11 Version 23H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5032288) and this will solve the problem. After restart, OperaGX just update itself and is now on the latest version of the browser.

Regarding the file, you can open it and see if there are any information that you consider sensitive. Probably it contains data about some directories on your system.

I am in the same situation and I really don't want to restore or reset windows just for the sake of a browser, even if it means I have to remain on 102 forever or switch to another browser.

A user, rijndael9, introduced herself as an Opera engineer and sent me a message asking for my "opera_autoupdate.log" file. Does anybody have any idea about this user? Is it safe? does the log info contain any security sensitive data?

Only 102 can run atm. I'm tempted to do a full system restore of my Windows 11 back to defaults but then I'll risk deleting some important files and backing up is too time consuming just to fix this browser.

Anyone running a system-wide VPN? There's one that can cause issues with Opera. Can't think of the name of it at the moment.

I spend many hours deleting and cleaning all tracks of opera, folders and registries, but unfortunately nothing above 102 seems to work. I tried with 104 and 105 offline installers and they fail, some error related to pak corruption, uninstalling process also fails.
For now the only version that can be installed is 102 and auto update attempts also fail, after each relaunch it remains at 102.
