Hi Burnout -
Sorry for the delay (dealing with other issues setting up my new Win 10 Pro laptop).
No, absolutely no family accounts or family features on my computer.
I'm connected to my microsoft account as this admin user. But I changed it to a local account and it made no difference.
Many thanks for your help. I think I'll stick with the Opera GX browser which is still working perfectly (and I'm getting to like the simple b&w color scheme).
best wishes - jim

RE: Opera suddenly crashes in Windows 10 Pro and won't reopen!Opera for Windows
Thanks so much Burnout.
I finally got a moment to try it (other little glitches in new Win 10 Pro laptop preoccupying me).
Your first method worked perfectly. I set up a new user, Test, and Opera installed and ran perfectly.
Your second method failed. I installed in another folder under my User name - and I'm the ADMIN! But neither installation of Opera will run under my user name.
Yet still the new Opera GX runs perfectly under my user name.
Btw, another glitch I can't resolve as admin - installing my Amazon Photos cloud backup software fails as soon as I get the Sign-In Page - it locks up and I cannot enter my login and password, thus I can't complete the installation. (Amazon promises me they're working on that for me.) Could this be a mere coincidence? A second Lenovo/Win 10 Pro glitch? Or part of the same issue -permissions you think? Any tips how I might resolve that? (Again, I've turned off all security, ad blocking, popup blocking etc.)
Immense thanks for your help with this. We're getting there.

Thanks so much. It's late in NYC now. I'll try your fixes tomorrow.
Btw, I just found the Opera GX gaming browser and downloaded and installed it under my admin login. It's working perfectly! -
Opera suddenly crashes in Windows 10 Pro and won't reopen!Opera for Windows
Hello Opera Forum!
I love this browser and have used it faithfully for many years in Win 7 Pro.
I just bought a new Lenovo laptop with Windows 10 Pro. I installed Opera first thing and it worked perfectly. Imported all my bookmarks perfectly! And it worked without any problem for four days.
Then suddenly today in the middle of a work session it crashed and I could not reopen it. I uninstalled and reinstalled it Four times and still I cannot get it to open. When I click on it the icon goes around for a few seconds then stops. I rebooted my computer several times. I stopped Windows Defender and all security software, ad blockers, etc. I am running as administrator.
But now it simply will not open!
What happened? Why all of a sudden when it was working perfectly for days - even today!? How can I get it to work again on Win 10 Pro?
Please help!! many many thanks. Jim in NYC
