      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.

              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.

                      I am having the exact same issue and have tried literally everything in an attempt to get it to open on my surface pro 7 without closing itself straight after.

                        @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.
