I installed Vivaldi, and logged into Prime. Selected a movie, and it started to play. No errors.

@Fractured-Chaos What does a test standalone installation of Opera GX to a folder named "Opera GX Test" on your desktop do? Does it have the same issue?

Unfortunately, yes.

@Fractured-Chaos Does it work in regular Opera?

Sorry it took a bit. I had to install it first. And it seems to be working in regular Opera.

OS: Windows 11 Home 64-bit V. 23H2
OS Build: 22631.4249
RAM: 16 GB
Processor: Intel(R) N95 1.70 GHz

Opera GX Ver: LVL6 (core: 113.0.5230.135)
Chromium version:127.0.6533.120

I had been using Opera GX for my streaming services on my PC, and had zero issues previously. However, I recently installed AVG Ultimate for security, and soon after that, my streaming services stopped working.

Now, logic dictates that the issue is clearly with AVG, right? Not so much. I spent over an hour with them last night, troubleshooting. The tech even uninstalled the AVG, and I attempted to access my streaming services.

I still could not. So apparently it was just a coincidence that the streaming started having errors after I installed the AVG.

Previously, before I discovered that all my streaming was failing, I contacted Netflix, and the problem was not with the service.

I can use all streaming if I use Chrome. I would rather use Opera GX, because it is literally smoother. When I use Chrome, the video stutters and buffers. I'm not sure why, but Opera GX never did that.

• I followed all the steps for troubleshooting before I came here to post this.
• All drivers are current.
• My OS was updated two days ago.
• I even uninstalled Opera GX, then reinstalled it.

Following are screenshots of all the error messages, although I'm not sure what good they'll do (except for the Netflix one... maybe).

Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me fix this. I love my Opera GX. I don't want to not use it.

Halle-freaking-lujah! It worked! And it even continues to work after reinstalling the AVG.

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

Sorry I didn't respond sooner. I wanted to do this when I actually had a nice block of time for it.

Downside: I lost all my Speed-Dial links. Replacing most of them wasn't hard, just time-consuming.

But... Everything works like it's supposed to now!

Yes, I have a few extensions. I disabled all of them, and it didn't make a difference. I left the Adnauseum and CapitolOne Shopping disabled, after I ran that experiment. I have a feeling they are probably not as safe as I first thought. I only re-enabled the Google Docs Offline, and the Opera Ad Blocker.

@leocg

You're looking at it. It's just the same thing as before.

@leocg
Right. I can access the sites, but when I try to play a video, I get the errors.

Oddly (or maybe not), I can play most of the usual videos on YouTube, but the movies and TV shows that come with Premium won't play.

Ver of OperaGX: LVL 5 (core: 106.0.4998.61)

The problem is that the icons in my Speed Dial are disappearing. This started happening with a previous laptop I was using temporarily, and I assumed it was because the processor was a mere 1.6GHz, and I only had 4 GB RAM (I couldn't even change my mind without it locking up and getting confused, it was sad, really).

I just set up my new PC two days ago, and it is still happening. And this PC has an Alder Lake N95 processor that goes up to 3.6 GHz, and 16 GB RAM.

Oddly enough, the other icons would not move to take the space left behind by the disappearing one, nor would my curser act like there was something there to click on. I followed the instructions pinned in the forum, and that didn't help. I even reset the PC back to factory settings (not because of this, but due to a classic ID-10-T error, which we will not speak of, ever again), and that didn't even help. I tried changing the theme, thinking maybe that was the issue, but nope. Still having the same problem. Help?

Also, oddly enough, the dynamic wallpaper was part of the cyber theme, and clearly the wallpaper in the second screenshot is not that, and I did not change it.

Attached re two screenshots. The first one is with the old laptop that couldn't even get out of it's own way, with the theme I thought might be the culprit (which it was not). The second was a screenshot I grabbed just before I started this. The missing icon is for my Gmail.
