@leocg FINALLY figured it out! It appears that Maywarebytes was automatically adding itself to Norton Utilities: Malwarebytes -> Settings -> Windows Security Center -> Always register Malwarebytes in the Windows Security Center. (I turned this off). If this was enabled, Malwarebytes would add Malwarebytes to Norton: Norton -> Settings-. App Permissions. One of the "features" that resulted from this addition is "Safe Cam," which seemed to causing the problem. If I selected the option to "do nothing", Malwarebytes would over time reenable this. So I deleted the entire Malwarebytes application from App Permissions. Now, all seems well! We will see. I'm hoping this may address other, minor issues I have with other programs.

@burnout426 Thanks! Tried all of those things - same problem! Also reinstalled Windows, wiped out and reinstalled Lastpass, uninstalled Norton then tried it - same problem, uninstalled Malwarebytes then tried it - same problem. Running out of ideas.

I found a work-around that would probably help with other Google apps that don't work right with Opera. Apparently, Google deliberately makes it difficult for some apps to work with Opera since they want to force Opera (i.e. Google Chrome variant) users to switch to Chrome. (How nice of them!). I found a user-agent switcher add-on for Opera that is similar to the old Opera option that allowed Opera to be seen as another browser.
Here is the link: https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/user-agent-switcher/?display=en

This add-on installs a toolbar button (similar to what ad-block does) that allows you to set Opera to mimic a wide variety of browsers. I added it to Opera Stable, opened Google Drive, and got the pop-up about using an unsupported browser, but was able to click on the X to close the pop-up, after which Google Drive looked fine!!
