@burnout426 Thanks burnout426. I have also been having this problem for a couple of weeks. I was about to follow your detailed instructions when I noticed your comment at the end citing security/anti-virus/firewall software as a possible issue. I had installed Malwarebytes just a couple of weeks ago. So I have just disabled it for a couple of minutes, and Opera has now updated for me. So thanks again, problem sorted, although I am now wondering what other issues Malwarebytes may be causing me !
@A Former User said in Opera Flow doesn't work:
Hi, I used Opera on my Asus laptop running windows 11 and Samsung device with android 11. There hasn't been any problems till now. Now Opera flow doesn't work. logging into account syncing etc all works fine. But flow doesn't work. When I scan the QR code on the laptop screen Mobile opera says follow the instructions on your device with some numbers. But no instructions on my laptop or anything. And Opera.com/connect URL doesn't work on laptop eventhough they say to navigate to that URl. Furthermore I would like to say that I tried every single thing on forums and internet. Tried resetting and commpletely reinstalling opera on both devices. Please help me
I had this problem after having to do a factory reset on my mobile due to an unrelated issue. I reinstalled Opera for Android, but Flow on the app would no longer connect with Flow on Opera 89 of my Windows desktop.
I rolled back to Opera 85. Flow then connected between both devices as normal. A few hours later I was alerted to the Opera 89 update. I installed it and the Flow connection remained in place. No further problems since.
Since updating Opera to version 84.0.4316.21 a few hours ago, I started having problems with any Google related pages. For example, with mail.google.com, all I would see was the subject line in any email. The message field was completely blank.
After trying various things, I disabled the uBlock Origin extension and that sorted things. When I enabled it again, the same problems returned.
I have now reinstalled the extension and everything seems fine. Maybe mine was just an isolated case, but I thought I would just mention in case anyone else is puzzled by similar issues since the update.
Do you have the uBlock Origin extension installed ? I was having the white screen issue yesterday with any Google related pages. I eventually pinned it down to an issue with uBlock Origin following an Opera update. Removing and then reinstalling the extension fixed it for me.
@dolanito I have a feeling the autoplay issue might be specific to You Tube rather than to Opera. It is a subject which has been cropping up regularly on Google/You Tube forums for the last few years. Unfortunately discussions are usually locked without any solution being found. Those complaining about the issue are users of various browsers.
