Opera instantly crashing upon running

Windows version - Version 25H2 (OS Build 26200.7840)
Opera version - 128.0.5807.52

It started off with Spotify web. When I switched tabs from Spotify web, Opera would crash, then reboot by itself. This has been happening for a while, but then today, when I switched workspaces (only 1 of my workspaces behaved like this), Opera did the same thing; crashing then rebooting by itself. Because of this, I decided to restart my laptop. Now, I can only go as far as this before Opera instantaneously crashes again:

What's supposed to happen is that the browser is supposed to load properly, which is not what's happening. After it crashes, it tries about 3 more attempts to reboot, but it produces the same thing every time.

Things I've tried:
Running Opera as admin
Deleting then re-installing (I did not wipe out my data)
Restarting laptop

Uninstall Opera, download and install an older build.
If the older build works without issue you know its a problem with the current build.
You can get previous builds from the link below.
https://get.opera.com/ftp/pub/opera/desktop/

@fitzydj I downloaded a build from 2024 and it worked! Thank you so much!!! Do you know when I can reinstall to a newer build or how I can get the newer builds to work? Thank you again!

@aviora I don't work for Opera so I have no idea.
If you are willing to try, you could Downland the current build from the FTP link in the previous post and see if that works.
When you tried to reinstall the current build previously did you download the online or offline installer ?
The files on the FTP link are the Offline Installers.
