      The main issue is that I was using Opera GX for many years before this and it worked perfectly fine, however, I closed it and needed to reopen it today and now Opera GX doesn't open at all, I can see it running and trying to do something in the task manager but then it stops and disappears.

      I have tried reinstalling Opera GX and I have restarted my laptop many times, all my drivers are up to date, and I'm on the newest update of Windows 11.

      There was one small period where I could sign out of my personal account (which is the one and only account on this laptop) and could sign back in and Opera GX would launch (as I had automatic start-up on launch activated). However, after about 3 seconds it disappears, this sign in and out trick doesn't work now for whatever reason and restarting the system doesn't make Opera GX launch on start-up as it should. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

      System Specs:
      ASUS TUF Gaming A16 FA607PI
      CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7845HX
      GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU
      Memory: 32GB

        When I try to open the browser is instantly crashes and terminates. This became an issue after the most recent update. Before then I never had any issues with the browser and I have been using it for quite some time. I have tried restarting my computer, reinstalling the browser, and repairing any windows files. Nothing has worked so far.

          @LORDP1ZZAMAN The same happened to me. Chrome doesn't work either. I've tried everything and it won't open.

            @imnotelliot Adding to my previous post:
            I have also tried turning off Windows Defender too.

                When I open it, whether it be directly in the files or through shortcuts, it displays the loading animation. After the loading animation plays it flashes a white window before closing immediately. Looking down it seems I'm not the only one to have to deal with this issue, is the newest opera version just... broken? Tried uninstalling, tried moving it to a different drive, tried restarting, nothing in task manager.

                    As i see, a lot of people are experiencing this problem. Opera Gx doesnt open, so does Chrome. I have to use Edge to write this. Idk why this is happening, is there any way to fix this yet? Opera doesnt show in Taskmanager and reinstalling Everything didnt help either.

                          @rain7890 It's because of the latest update. Before that it was doing just fine,

                                    @leocg hey I'm facing the same issue and I'm in windows 11 pro and don't know what version of opera GX. I have done all the "fixes" that people have said above and even installed the latest version as well as tried the offline installer.

                                            I've been having the same issue where the splash screen pops up as well as it appearing in task manager, but a moment later it completely disappeared.
                                            I've uninstalled and reinstalled 6 times and restarted 3 times, my firewalls are disabled, and I tried using normal Opera.
                                            I'm using an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and a GTX 1650 Super. I'm on Windows 11 24h2 and the most recent update for GX. I need this for my work.
