I have an HP 64-bit laptop running Windows 10 Home, 12gb memory, 2T hard drive.
I only use Opera as I'm trying to stay away from MS. Now when I do a search in Opera for something, even if I select something off my Speed Dial, that will open correctly as does the search BUT at the same time an Edge window opens with Bing as a search engine (I have Opera set to Google) and it takes me to this screen. It's becoming a real PIA.
Do you have any suggestions about how to prevent this from happening? Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your prompt response. In me looking, I had seen some references to an old client but I thought for sure, Opera would have a current one. Do you have any suggestions for another email client?
Thanks.

I've been using Thunderbird for my emails but now it's telling me I have to compress my files and folders but the last time I did that I lost hundreds of emails and folders and was never able to recover them. I don't want to go through that nightmare again. So I'm looking for a new email client. Opera is my default browser and I'm hoping you also handle emails. If there isn't one in Opera could you please suggest a good stable email client that can handle email accounts from various places like gmx, outlook, yahoo, etc?

Thanks for your help

I did all the things you suggested.
Interestingly enough, when I opened the Cmd window and keyed in the line about the launcher.exe, even if I typed it in quotes, I got the same message that Windows could not find c:\Program Not sure why it couldn't find it. The settings option was set to use the Start Page on startup, and to notify if another URL wanted to start it. I turned those options off and then back on and now the problem has stopped. I'm not sure why it stopped because I set it back to exactly how it was when I opened Settings.
At least, now it has stopped doing it.
Thank you very much for the detailed instructions. I appreciate the help and your time.

I'd be willing to do that. How would I do that?

I have a new HP 15-bs188cl running Windows 10 Home, 64-bit, with 12gb memory, 2T hard drive.
I've used Opera for a long time on my old Toshiba but it is being a challenge on this new laptop.
Every time I open Opera it brings up https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/hub/4338813/windows-help?os=windows-10. I have looked through the settings and can't find a place where it is referenced. I even search through the Registry and didn't find it there either.
It is very aggravating. How do I get it to STOP?
I want it to open the Speed Dial page.
Thanks for any helpful suggestions.

I have a slow internet connection, this may or may not make a difference.
I have two laptops both running Windows 10 Home 64-bit, one is very old and falling apart, literally, the other one is brand new. I'm moving all my stuff to the new laptop. Holy cow, what a job.

I'm getting errors on both but this particular error a lot more often on the old laptop. I've researched a bit but I'm not very techie. I found references to flushing outdated DNS. I have no idea what that means so I don't want to just try things without at least some understanding of what it is and why I'm doing it. I certainly don't want to make matters worse.

The interesting thing is that I also get various other messages similar to this on both laptops but I get this one most often.

Also, when I'm looking for info on something, I will open a bunch of websites on numerous tabs and go on expecting them to open in the background. Many times, when I come back to the tab, Opera gives me a message that the site responded too slowly, or could not be found, or some other such message but as soon as I open the tab (make it active?) the little circle on the tab starts going around like it's searching again and this time (wow, magically) the website opens.

Talk about aggravating. I have the setting in Opera set so it can open webpages in the background so I don't have to sit and wait and yet, here I am sitting and waiting. Grrrr! This error message is extremely aggravating. I hate waiting.

Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I hope you all are having a good holiday week.

I have a Toshiba Satellite 64-bit laptop running Windows 10 Home latest version, 8 g memory, 2 T hard drive.
This problem started occurring a month or so ago. I thought it would correct itself but it hasn't and is very annoying. I'm looking for suggestions/answers. Anything helpful.
When I put a url in the address bar or do a paste and go, Opera tries to access the site but about 80% of the time returns one of these messages.
No Internet or Can't Find Server or DNS Not Found
I have things downloading or have other sites, like Ebay or Amazon open and the open sites are functioning normally, so I don't believe these messages to be accurate.
I usually have multiple tabs open and it seems this occurs almost always when the window is in the background. If I bring the window to the foreground, (make it active?), and sit and wait on it, then Opera searches again and finds the site. Back when I first installed Opera, I found a setting (not sure I could find it again) that said Opera should process the windows in the background or something like that and I selected that option. I like to multitask, so I want the windows being accessed in the background so I can go back to them once they are available. It would be awful if I could only have one site open at a time or if I have to sit and watch each one and wait for it to open.
Any ideas? Thanks for your help.

That is what I expected to be able to do. But on two occasions in the last few days, I've been on sites and clicked on the option on the site to download a PDF and a blank screen opens and all I get is the message saying Chromium pdf viewer has been disabled and then it tells me to go to settings in Opera and turn it back on. To me that message sounds like it comes from Opera, not the website. So I copied the url and opened Firefox and was able to download the pdf with no problems. This sounds like an Opera problem. So is there a way around it, or give me specific steps on how to enable Chromium because I can't find it in settings. I just won't use it for anything but the download.

I get the message "Chromium pdf viewer has been disabled. To re-enable it, please go to opera://settings?section=plugins", but when I go to Settings there is no Plugins option. I can't find anything about PDFs except the option to download them rather than opening in Opera. I want to download them. It's just an extra step if I open them in Opera and then have to create a PDF. And why am I limited to using Chromium PDF Viewer? Even if it's enabled, I won't use it.
Just something else taking up space on my computer. The last time I did anything with Chrome it so screwed up my computer it took me weeks to get it back to working normally. I don't want to go through that again. What are other alternatively? Just forget about being able to download a PDF? Is that wise?
I'm not a programmer and don't want to go messing around with program code. There must be some simple fix.
