FWIW, I "upgraded" to Windows 10 on my laptop with Windows 8.1, removed "--no-sandbox", upgraded Comodo Firewall, and Opera works normally again! I want to point out that both PCs that had this problem ALSO had Comodo Firewall. Thank you again for all the help...
I was able to save the modification to the icon properties by entering the parameter outside the quotation marks in Win 8.1 and will try the same on Win 7 later.
No, I entered it just as previously posted, with the parameter inside the quotation marks. I'll try as you suggest and post the results.
"The name 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\launcher.exe --no-sandbox' specified in the Target box is not valid. Make sure the path and file name are correct."
Both Win 7 PCs give that error. Win 8.1 also...
Windows 7 and 8.1 won't let me modify the shortcut for launcher.exe or opera.exe, so Firefox it is!
Yes, Opera runs using that, but Windows 7 won't let me add that to the taskbar icon properties. I can only run Opera by going through the "run" feature and adding the "--no-sandbox" after the executable. Windows 8 would let me add it to the desktop icon. What gives? I don't know enough about Opera to fix it.
Bookmarks are the only thing that shows up, but obviously nothing loads when you click on it. Settings, Themes, Extensions, About Opera, Speed Dial, etc., do not load.
I did the install on USB and it doesn't load anything either. Tried running the standalone version on a different desktop PC, it didn't work there, and now the previously installed Opera on that PC no longer works. It (37) still works on my daily use PC so far. Two down, one to go, and it will be Firefox from here on, unfortunately. Been using Opera for about 15 years now.
I'll have to try that, just as soon as I research how to go about doing so properly.
Yes, if I understand what you mean by "standalone installation" as downloading the complete installation file with no further need for WWW connection.
I disabled Norton, AntiMalware, and Comodo firewall first and then closed completely with no success. Anti-Exploit not installed on my PC. Can't figure out why the laptop is different from desktop PCs. Only difference is Win 8.1 on laptop and Win 7 on others.
Speed Dial page doesn't load, just as nothing else loads. I have Malwarebytes Premium installed, just as I do on the other two PCs that Opera 37 works fine on. If I recall correctly, Anti-Exploit is another service you pay for, correct?
Not working for me on i7 HP laptop running Win 8.1 64-bit. Nothing loads, NOTHING! No history, settings, downloads, "About Opera", speed dial. Only thing that I can view is bookmarks.
