Download Opera browser with:
I have tried that. It will open up the browser as normal, but the installer still launches with it. The shortcut is targeting the launcher. Using the launcher in the direct folder still has the same issue. I think it's a glitch or something with the auto-updater.
I have also tried running it in administrator but I'm still getting the same issue.
Is the cursor flickering a lot when you go on SC? If so, you may have the same problem as me. See this post I made awhile ago.

I do not have a solution though, it's still prevalent on my end. ![😕](https://forums.opera.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/emoji-one/1f615.png?v=6clreqn1761 ":\")
On Windows 7/64-bit build. Opera version 47.0.2631.39.
Every time I launch the browser the installer opens up. Regardless of if I click yes or no to the updater it does nothing. It is quite annoying. Deleted the installer from the Opera source does nothing. Upon doing that I just get an error when opening the browser. Is there any reason for this? Any workarounds, etc?
Hi opera-or-vivaldi,
I don't think it has much to do with adblocking. The only extension I had blocking stuff was uMatrix and even after I removed it the cursor still flickered. Google Maps is downright unsuable. I have no extensions enabled right now and the flickering is still occuring.
Hi,
I am also getting this issue. It definitely has to do with loading new info. Aside from Soundcloud I am also getting the issue on https://rateyourmusic.com/ and https://www.dominos.ca/ (this is escpecially apparent on the ordering menu. Clicking another topping completely freezes the browser for me). I've tried the same stuff on Waterfox and am not getting these issues.
Another thing I noticed was that when it's flickering like this it is impossible to close the tab. In some extreme cases when I had 4 or 5 tabs of Soundcloud open it froze the entire browser and stopped the music playing.
Hi,
still based in Southern Ontario and the problem seems to have resolved itself. I did nothing different. I am still on the same version as yesterday I think.
Version: 45.0.2552.881 (PGO) - Opera is up to date
Update stream: Stable
System: Windows 7 64-bit (WoW64)

It definitely was something on Googles end. It does appear that others are still getting the issue though. :|
Hi,
@leocg I am based in Canada. I'm guessing now it could be a regional problem. I still have to try an older version but will do tomorrow sometime.
It appears to be just google's homepage as well as the search page. I have uploaded two screenshots of how it looks for me.
That said, I went to Gmail, Google Drive, Google Play and Google Analytics and they all displayed properly. Although not pictured I turned night mode off after and that did not fix anything.
Hi,
I updated again and its update to date and I am still getting the same issue.

is what it says for me.
I installed that extension that @bebner linked and it solved the problem when I switched it to Firefox on Windows. Have yet to experiment with other user-agents.
Hi,
I am not going to start another thread because I also experience these problems. My brother and I on separate computers both have encountered the same problem. It started today with Google sending old format pages sometimes and I updated it (there was a new patch available) and now the problem is even more extreme with normally formatted Google pages not even appearing. This is also the case with the Google.ca homepage as operauser12356 stated. I cleared my history and caches on google and even removed every single extension I had installed (even if they were not enabled). I have a fast internet connection I strongly doubt the connectivity has anything to do with it. My brother is also on ethernet and even faster internet but still the same problem.
I have no VPNs enabled (I never even really used them). Internet Explorer works fine with Google (I am on Windows 7). My brother is on Windows 10 and his Edge works fine as well. It appears to just be Opera. My version of Opera is 45.0.2552.812 (PGO) and although I can't confirm I think my brothers may also be the same one. I also do not have any proxies on as far as I am aware. It also does not matter if Opera Turbo is on or not. This problem still occurs.
I ran a malwarebytes scan and it did not pick up anything relating to Opera. I still have to run HitmanPro and verify Malwarebytes did not miss anything though. I disabled both Malwarebytes and Kasperky (my main anti-virus) and the problem still persists. I'd like to hope it isn't malware but right now I have no proof it is or isn't. I believe it could be something with Opera (the ammount of people getting this issue are making me suspicious) but that is all I have to go off of.
I have yet to do a clean and full uninstall and reinstall to see if it continues there and I am going to try an earlier version of Opera but am unable to do so right now.
