Before posting, some required (mandatory) steps

First of all you should check if the problem is not being caused by an extension or a broken profile. Do the following required steps, re-starting Opera after each one of them and checking if the problem remains after each one.

• Disable all extensions

• Disable the ad-blocker/tracker blocker

• Reset settings to default (Do a backup and export your passwords first)

• Reset flags to default

• Create a clean profile folder/directory

• Temporarily disable antivirus, firewall, anti-malware and all related software in your system

• If the problem is with a web page, check if it works with other browsers. Try checking with other Chromium based browsers

• Check if your Windows is up to date

It means that you have a broken download in your download list. Clean it and the icon will return back to its normal state.

@kukuruzix Synced saved passwords are encrypted using your Opera account credentials, so Opera needs the password used when those passwords were synced to decrypt them.

The same for when you set up a passphrase to encrypt all your synced data, you will need to provide the passphrase to decrypt your data.

@neomeen And from where you got that player that appears in the image? Doesn't seem to be something from Opera.

@hucker Don't know any specific extension but I guess that those to block (java)script should work.

@andrew84 I guess that either auto-update will be disabled in the last build of Opera 95 or, most probably, systems with Windows 7 and 8.1 will not get updates to higher versions of Opera.

@neomeen Are you using the sidebar player by chance?

@i0ncurr There isn't such feature.

@bbildman I guess so.

@bbildman As far as I know, Opera 96 will not work in Windows versions before 10.

@kukuruzix It may be asking for an old Opera account password.

@bbildman See https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2023/01/opera-windows-7-8/

Opera 95 is the last one with support for Windows 7 and 8.1.
