      Like my subject says, my Opera browser has just started freezing seconds after startup. I get to the splash screen and I have literally two or three seconds to click on a tab, the settings button, whatever, before everything completely freezes and it becomes 100% unresponsive. Even right-clicking on the open program icon on my taskbar and selecting "Close window" doesn't do anything, and I have to go into Task Manager and end task just to shut it down.
      If I re-open Opera after end tasking it to shut it down, it freezes instantaneously, and the only way to get those two-three seconds of use back is to restart my whole computer.
      I even managed to quickly disable my two active extensions after a few restarts to see if they were causing this issue, but that had no effect.

      No idea why this is happening! Opera was working perfectly fine last night and I don't recall any browser updates or Windows updates before shutting my computer down before going to bed (I'm on the Windows 10 ESU scheme, so I wouldn't expect many updates anyway).

      Is this happening to anybody else?

          @leocg Just the regular Opera? I didn't think it had a special name, and is just called Opera Browser on the Opera website. I don't use GX or Air
