Would someone please check their History? It would seem, by what I am seeing the last 2 days, that they have this problem fixed. The times appear correct, but haven't checked the date.

FYI, I have been have other issues with the latest version of Opera (....149). It would start on my W7 machines but not load any web pages. Errors seemed to indicate that there is a problem with the "operaautoupdate.exe" file and the "launch.exe" file for the latest version. I downgraded to version 70......232. Trick is to turn off Opera immediately after the installation is complete, delete the autoupdate file from recent installation, or else it will upgrade to version ...149. Hope you are not having this problem, but I am. Will comfortably stay with version ....232 until they get this resolved.

My version of Opera 60.XXX was automatically updated this morning on my laptop to version 62.0.3331.18. It is crashing about every minute since installation (I am writing on Firefox as we speak). I love the way Opera feels and looks, but there are just too many annoying features to make me want to stay with the platform if these things keep happening.

I am using W7 64-bit Professional on both my laptop and workstation (both Lenovos)

Thanks, in advance.

@leocg yes, it is

@panion821 Sorry, I can't think of anything else that it may be. You are using Windows 10? I still use Windows 7.
Worst comes to worst--just routinely check Opera's home website once a month for updates.

My History function is showing the correct time but the wrong date, ie, Sunday instead of Monday. I see no place where this can be adjusted or corrected.

are you using a third party VPN service?

Problem fixed, and forgot this detail. Although Opera will install the linked files on my D:\ directory, it does not like (will not) install directly on the drive. I have to install it on C:\ drive for it to work. Some programs are fussy that way.

Today I tried starting Opera (version 58..0.3135.127), but it just would not open. I have experienced this behaviour before when a new update occurred which prevented operation. My solution then was to uninstall and re-install the newer version. I tried that today with version 60.0.3255.59, both the Installer.exe and the full installation version, but the installation keeps failing. It gets down to about 1 second remaining, hangs for a bit, then gives me the error message that installation has failed.

I turned off my Webroot firewall and my VPN programs, but that made no difference. There is nothing else new on my PC that should interfere with this.

Thanks in advance.
