@ezenofx I think I might have a similar problem. When websites stop loading, is the page white and the tab named “Untitled” and when you hover your mouse over the tab, it says “Crashed?”

@burnout426 Funny thing, I thought to do that a few minutes ago. I renamed the roaming Opera Stable but when I opened Opera, all of my old information and such was gone.

I didn't like that, so I unrenamed "Opera Stable Old" but it asked if I wanted to combine it with the new 1. Initially I said yes but when it asked to do it for a sub folder I said no. I deleted the new Opera Stable and renamed the old Opera Stable. I opened Opera to find my bookmarks and such back. As a test, I deleted some old bookmarks, added a new 1, and edited another 1. When I reopened Opera to my surprise all the bookmark changes stuck! I don't know what I did right but I think it's fixed [knock on wood]. Thank you for the advice!

@burnout426 Actually, after I responded to you, I reinstalled AVG Antivirus and as soon as that happened, the problem of bookmarks not saving or changing started back up. The 2 AVG files that LockHunter said were blocking modifications reappeared after I reinstalled AVG. I did that trick I mentioned earlier but with the Default sub-folder of roaming Opera Stable this time and that started things back up.

I'll probably wait a week until reinstalling AVG to see if the problem's gone away. I'm at a loss, for AVG hasn't given me this problem before. Did I do something in AVG to cause this? I hope it isn't a permanent bug, since my family bought it and it's useful in protecting our computers.

@ArnyDeWatcher I waited a few days to be sure but I fixed the issue. It turns out I had my Opera processes off in AVG by accident. That mortifying since I made that mistake before which I panickedly posted last time.

This is the third time I dealt with this problem and I wonder if the first time it was also because of AVG. Ah well. If anyone else ran into this problem, hopefully you can consult this thread about it.

After the 124.0.5705.15 update yesterday morning, in the following evening I noticed I couldn’t load new sites. If the tab was on the Speed Dial, if you try to go somewhere else it would go blank for a second before returning to the Speed Dial. Or the website would come up blank with tab titled “Untitled” and if you hover your mouse over the tab, something will come up that says crashed.

This usually starts within 5 or so minutes. I can exit the browser and then reopen it to get rid of this effect briefly but soon the blanking will return. I notice if it starts if I’m in the middle of watching something it’ll keep playing just fine and I could even play youtube playlists without issue. I notice that when this issue comes up, the “are you sure you want to exit” little window I turned on doesn’t appear.

This has happened to me before. The only way I was able to deal with it was to uninstall Opera, run SFC Scan Now, restart my laptop, and reinstall Opera. I don’t like dealing with that hassle of having to put images back into my bookmarks. Here’s an alert for anyone else that might deal with this problem in the future and hopefully if there are alternate ways to get rid of it.

@leocg I think I found the issue for me. I put Opera to sleep in AVG to save space even though Opera still works mostly fine after (I don’t know how this works lol).

I put it to sleep again last night thinking it was maybe the Opera Assistant I then disabled. This morning got the blank issue again after going to another tab. I undid the sleep option for Opera on AVG and with just a refresh, I can go to any website just fine. Idk how a update lead to this but I thought to clarify the situation with everyone here.

@leocg Opera Stable 119.0.5497.40. I put the Opera Assistant asleep in AVG and that seemed to help in making the browser less laggy but I’m waiting a few days too see if the problem persists. The issue happened a couple times many hours apart yesterday but happened twice roughly 10 minutes apart some hours ago. I have my browser off currently so I can concentrate on a project.

It hasn’t become too bothersome so far but after installing the latest update through an offline install, after a week of failing to do so through the usual way, my tabs would eventually either go blank when reloading a website that I had opened or jump back to the Home Screen when clicking my bookmarks or typing in a URL. Even going to the Opera bookmarks or setting page leads to the same issue. Turning off my browser and turning it back on helps for varying time.

Anyone else dealing with this problem. Something about this problem is vaguely familiar like it happened to users before. Just in case I had AVG Tuneup turn Opera off sleep mode when it was otherworldly working fine for a week and discovered I suddenly have a Opera Assistant program. Idk if those details are related but I thought I’d let you all know.

@burnout426 Handle found nothing. Lockhunter did but while I could get around the opera locks, AVGSvc.exe and aswEngSrv.exe won’t let me go through. Shutting off AVG temporarily doesn’t help. I do notice the 2 seem to be protecting the Default subfolder. Initially, both displayed the folder 1 each but after trying to get through in vain again now it’s twice?

@burnout426 i tried these. I unselected read only and pressed apply for both but when I look at properties for both folders again “read only” is rechecked. I did a separate opera install like the middle link suggests and that saved bookmarks just fine. I renamed Opera Stable for Local but I couldn’t do that for Roaming’s version because it kept saying the folder or file was open in another program even though Opera’s closed and Task Manager showed it wasn’t open.

I ran System Fille Checker in Command Prompt and it found nothing wrong. Deleting cookies didn’t solve the problem. I have noticed if you try to delete bookmarks or empty the bookmarks trash folder when you start Opera back up they’re right back where they originally were. I also deleted a few extensions and disabled all of them but that too gets reversed when Opera’s reopened. When I open a new window or private window when the current window with new bookmarks is still open, those new bookmarks are still present in those new windows.

@ezenofx I waited a week to be sure but I think I solved the issue of Opera no longer loading websites after a while.

Over a week ago, Opera started freezing really badly, to the point when it got to hanging it could freeze the laptop’s clock and even turn the screen black for minutes at a time. Last Sunday, I uninstalled Opera but this time I didn’t click reinstall. I did that before and that didn’t solve the problem. Be sure not to delete your data when uninstalling.

Once it got uninstalled, I ran the System File Checker scannow in Command Prompt and let it do its work. When I came back, I restarted the computer but it froze and took a while, so I admittedly got impatient and shut it off. I turned the computer back on and then enacted a regular Shutdown and then turned it back on. I downloaded Opera back onto my laptop and the websites not loading problems seems to be gone. Opera still froze and crashed a few times particularly on Tumblr but that’s almost rare now.

I don’t know what steps in that process helped but it worked. My Opera data remaining meant I didn’t lose my bookmarks and extensions, though be warned if you like specific pictures on your bookmarks, you’ll have to put them back in. Probably don’t interrupt your restart but maybe try these steps I did and see if that helps.
