For some reason every time Opera GX updates, it does not have WidevineCdm, which stops me from watching Netflix. Originally I just copied the WidevineCdm folder from Chrome and moved it over, then every update I have had to copy the folder from the last update folder and move it to the new update folder, then restart Opera GX.

I have tried going to opera://components but whenever I check update for Widevine Content Decryption Module it just ends with "Status - Update error", and also its version is 0.0.0.0.

I also believe my friend installed Opera GX and he also did not have the "WidevineCdm" folder installed, but we haven't gone into further depth with it for him.

I have had this issue for quite a while now, probably about 8 months?. If anyone knows how to fix it, it would be very appreciated.
