@mathias87 said in Deleted desktop icon back on every start:

Hmm...I replaced the existing link sticked to my task bar with the link Opera creates every time I start it.
Seems like it stopped creating a link now.

So, you're saying you unpinned the Opera tasbkar icon you had, started Opera with the desktop shortcut that Opera keeps creating, and right-clicked on that taskbar button when Opera started and choose to pin that? Then, you deleted the desktop icon and it doesn't come back now?

thats what i was thinking if only they had copy and pasted the icons properties..

wow glad its Solved !..

@rudrick
If you want to disable images in Opera to save the bandwidth, the steps are very easy and simple.

Click the Opera menu button > click “Settings” > click “Website” > find “Images” section > choose “Do not show any images”. LoL

Canvas Try this in your shortcut Opera target : --disable-reading-from-canvas Then go here to test : https://browserleaks.com/canvas

@nvmjustagirl Awesome. Does the setting get reverted back to "ask" after you restart Opera though?

Sorry to say .. Yes gets reverted back to "ask" after you restart Opera 51.0.2830.0 developer update..

@chuchkyschild tell me about it LoL but seriously i thought when i downloaded 51.02830.0 opera developer update that opera and flash would be like it use to be .... o yea right ! more like click bait ! ..lol o well..

@pandorave said in Disabling Auto Startup:

Advanced SystemCare

VirusTotal scan on advanced-systemcare-setup.exe for Advanced SystemCare 11..
Note : Setupfile from IObit webpage..

go to settings and turn off run apps in the background.. restarted pc *may help..

or i may be confused with google chrome..
it may be called this now.. Background sync - Do not allow recently closed sites to finish sending and receiving data

also look in here.. *Opened Run (Windows key + R) and typed in: shell:startup remove opera if its in there restart pc..

also i found this thread explaining that this is not an issue but a new Feature of Windows 10
+Programs autostart after boot+ - https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider_wintp-insider_desktop/programs-autostart-after-boot-in-windows-10/09dd8d3e-7b36-45d1-9181-6587dd5d53ab?page=2

It would be great to toggle thru open tabs with mouse wheel

@rudrick leo right..
Uncheck Use hardware acceleration when available under the System heading and Opera won’t use the capacity of your graphics card for loading content faster..

@operafanuk i wonder if a ad blocker could be interfer.. *doubt it tho..

@operafanuk i noticed ya said x32.. am x64 here but still 32 bit should connect *weird..

@operafanuk yes updated to 51.0.2830.55 stable here..

@operafanuk ya should be ablt to see optimal location box and choose location..

n e ways i agree its a local trouble where you're at..

maybe it will be back up soon *hopefully..

@operafanuk you said ya turned off anti 's earlier, turn 'em off again .. and

open Task Manager

Click on File>New Task (Run) and enter "explorer.exe" (without the quotes)
Then click OK.
restart explorer.exe

see if vpn connects..

@operafanuk said in Opera VPN not working ALL streams:

@oracle12c can add opera as an exception or allow in Defender i think..

you're still having locally troubles.. but seems a bit long tho..
all the cold weather and snow.. *yuck..

when opera's vpn goes down sumtimes i use Browsec Vpn extension.. it has about 4 free servers in it, 1 of the 4 seververs free is uk server.. works great with opera..

@operafanuk here is link to opera store for browsec vpn

https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/browsec/

Encrypts traffic and unlocks sites, no data limits..

@operafanuk maybe ya could cross them toes too !.. lol
hope it stays working for ya..

@operafanuk hi am so pleased to see ya up and run 'n again...

Lemme also say thankyou for explain 'n your problems very truthfull and spot on ! i think lottsa o peeps should look at how well you explained.. thanks again.. and hope it keeps working for ya !..

@rocketraccoon If you have been run 'n opera 's vpn and defender in the past with no problems then maybe its a local trouble as to where you're at.. or opera vpn could be down.. just check now and then to see if ya can connect to vpn... *sorry ya have 'n this problem..

@pmfeldman pmfeldman ummm.. advice same answer to as to RocketRaccoon.. you have been a forum member for @ least 6 years.. so if firwall was workn'n ok before opera vpn went down.. maybe vpnit will be back up soon.. *am sorry you got this problem..

just check now and then to see if vpn will connect..

if it vpn does not connect let us know !.. thanks..

Note - depend 'n on how ya explain your prolem could mean a new thread *perhaps
