Two browser windows on launch
-
trustissues last edited by trustissuesFor some reason my whenever I open Opera I get two windows (not tabs) open up. One is my shortcuts homepage with the tiles (default). The other is a login for my healthcare website. No matter how many times I shut the window it it pops back up after I close the browser and relaunch. Every. Single. Time. Anybody know how to get this second window to stop launching?
Clarification: I can close the 2nd window without issues and it stays closed. No pop ups or random windows opening. No viruslike activity. This is a launch issue. After I'm done browsing and shut the browser down, then relaunch later (or immediately) it reopens with both browser windows. If it matters, this just started happening after I used a verified link from my doctor's office to sign in.
The community has been good, hopefully you all have some answers for me

@trustissues Check the startup settings. Also check the Opera shortcut.

@trustissues If you start Opera with an external link (either on the command line in your shortcut or by clicking on a link in another program), it will usually open 2 windows - one for your normal tabs and a separate one for the link. Though it is also possible to set Opera to start with several windows by using theExit command on the menu to close all windows at the same time. As you should know if you did any of those things except if some external program modified the command line, as Leo says that's the first think to check.

@leocg @sgunhouse @johnsamir After 3 days of this "bug" it just suddenly started behaving normally this morning. I did check my startup settings to make sure everything is in order and it looks good. I'm not sure why it started or stopped on it's own, but thanks for the suggestions!
