Opera launches then crashes without any error messages then repeats it.

Recently I wasn't able to launch Opera.

I tried reinstalling after deleting Opera from my system, didn't work.

I tried renaming the opera.exe to edge.exe or opera1.exe, didn't work.

I tried disabling Microsoft Defender, didn't work.

I don't have any antivirus program besides Microsoft Defender.

I don't want to use another browser...

Anybody having the same issue, or is there any fix?

Also, I wasn't able to launch Discord as well. They kind of stopped working simultaneously.

@goddgoroth When you deleted Opera did you keep or remove the user data?
Have you run any Windows System Checks, Open Command Prompt or Terminal and run as Administrator.
If your running Running Windows 11 Right Click the Start Button and will you see a Menu and Terminal (Admin) is about half way in the list,
Copy and Paste or Type:
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
Press Enter
If there are any errors reported Copy and Paste or Type:
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
Press Enter
Depending on your Internet Connection Speed and how busy the Microsoft Servers are DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth can take a while.

Once DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth has finished, Copy and Paste or Type: SFC /Scannow
Press Enter. if you get a good report at least you know it is not a corrupted system file issue.

@fitzydj Hello, after pasting DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth, I received "No component store corruption detected" message. I ran DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth anyways, and after that Sfc /Scannow, "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired them." message received. Still Opera doesn't launch... Thanks for the help though.

Hello.
I'm also experiencing the same problem with the Japanese version of Opera.
I hope a solution is released soon.
The situation hasn't changed even after updating, but I feel like the frequency of crashes has decreased.
