      Only seeing black screen when loading Opera today. I started up my computer and opened Opera, and only got the black screen. I can hover over things with the cursor and know they are there, and one time while blind clicking I was able to get a twitch stream to play because I could hear it, so it may be some kind of display rendering issue in my browser? I can click in the top left and get the dropdown menu to show up, but if I try to select settings, nothing different shows up for me, just the black screen. I have restarted windows, updated my graphics drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled Opera, and am still getting the black screen. I have seen a solution online of people with a similar issue saying to turning off hardware acceleration in the settings, but again, if I can't see the settings, I don't believe I can blind click and luck my way into doing it. Please advise

          @leocg having the exact same issue, this is with Opera Browser (https://www.opera.com/opera).

          I was having really bad lag/delays with YouTube and it only seemed to be YouTube. Another post suggested playing with the graphic settings on the browser such as hardware acceleration, forcing GPU etc.

          As soon as I turned on OpenGL and relaunched it went to black screen and now it's stuck.
