            Yeah I've been getting the exact same problem; when I woke up this morning, it opened for about 10 seconds, and I was really happy, but then it crashed again. Previously, it hadn't got past the splash screen. I tried to uninstall, repair, reinstall, disable autoupdate, roll back to a previous version, but it still hasn't been working. I hope this issue is fixed soon, since clearly a lot of people are having this problem.

              @imnotelliot you are not alone, i think some new update is the root of the problem

                    I don't know why but I can't open opera gx. I tried using --disable-extensions, reinstalling, repairing but it doesn't work. If I try opening opera gx it will just crash. I also tried using chrome and brave(chromium) and it won't work. The only browser I can use is edge rn

                        my opera loads the splash screen then it crashes. I've tried reinstalling and opening as an administrator, but it doesnt work. ive opened task manager, and opera does pop up along with the crash report but then it immediately closes. how do i fix this?

                          Every time I click to open the browser it refuses to open, I’ve tried everything, reinstalling, updating, reinstalling antivirus, ect. The only thing that works is to change the exe name, but if I do that another issue occurs, discord won’t register opera as a browser so it won’t open links. Idk what to do and am looking for advice
