@bavali001 said in error 0xc0000022 when trying to open Opera GX:
Any explanation of why the update breaks would be appreciated.
One case is because you have a launcher.exe in the install folder that's for a different version than the Opera you have installed and you're trying to launch Opera with launcher.exe instead of opera.exe. As for why the mismatch, sometimes an update fails to update both in the root of the install folder correctly (where just uninstalling and reinstall alone won't fix it).
Opera doesn't use launcher.exe anymore though and it won't be present in a fresh install folder and fresh Opera GX shortcuts won't reference it. They'll reference opera.exe like they're supposed to now.
