<![CDATA[Opera GX crashes and closes when trying to open it]]>I recently started using Opera GX, but there is a problem.
Whenever I try to open it, it just crashes and then closes.
On the task manager, it does say that it opens but then it crashes a few seconds later.
On the forums I have seen a lot of people with the same issue but not a definite answer.
How do I fix this?

Crashes have started slipping in to my gx browser again so it's definitely an opera issue as this has been it's normal routine behavior, opera crashes, I reset it, it works good for a while then out of the blue it crashes again.

Never had so many crashes in a browser than opera, the only reason I use it is because I haven't found a speed dial alternative.

My crash issue just disappeared after a refresh and update but a new one has popped up in it's place, I've had to use Edge a few times to access some sites that Opera crashes on or wont even load due to issues with Java. Good luck!

I just need to hope my new PC is going to work with opera.

Unfortunately not in my case. Still after launching Opera GX windows makes white and shut down and the process repeats 4-5 times and browser is not on. Installing again, renaming folder in appdata, installing over and over again etc. nothing works. It's new computer, at my previous and notebook Opera GX works perfect, but not on my main computer.
I searched half of the internet for solution and as for now nothing work.

Good news guys!
Remember the strategy to just keep redownloading opera?
It doesn't work anymore 😞

Then open Opera and see if it doesn't crash.

All I can suggest is use the recovery option, I've had to use it twice in a span of 72 hours because my first reset fixed one issue but started another so I had to reset a second time which sorted it out for now.

Downside of the recovery option is it's real f... annoying as you have to redo every customization that you previously applied to Opera including re-installing / re-enabling all your extensions.
