@leocg Yes-that was it! I'm pretty sure I didn't set it on, but now I know how to get rid of these.
Thanks. Please close.

Problem went away on its own. The possible cause might have been due to another tab grabbing the audio and I wasn't aware of it.
Problem closed.

Weird, I was able to log in with my user and password in the Opera system. I don't know when the login credentials got activated.
I do not have a Microsoft account installed.
Note: When I click on the Opera menu icon, it shows in the list of options "signed in as pdw". I have never seen that before.
I have exited Opera and restarted it many times since I opened this problem so don't know when the password became active.
Current Version:95.0.4635.84

@pdw The problem is back again. After Opera crashed last night and opened the page again, the problem is there once again. I don't know what causes the problem and what causes it to go away..
Note: I made sure I have the latest .net installed.

If it happens again, hit alt + p to see if settings then open in a new fullscreen tab. If so, try using F11 there.

@leocg
The opera://settings/system showed that hardware acceleration was turned off. I enabled it and, Voila! cpu went down to 2%.
Many thanks to the replies. I couldn't've done it alone.

I've run into this a few times lately. It's not happening at this moment, but it's annoying because the tasbkar (set to auto-hide) won't show back up. I'll have take note of exactly what I was doing to see if I can trigger it manually.

I'm sorry, I did find the files, hidden below the list of folders. Doh. My bad.
I see that passwords cannot be moved to another machine. Too bad.
This can be closed. Thanks for the help.

I thuink I know what happened to cause windows logon each time I view a password. Note: I never had to enter a password in the past because I never had a windows logon!

I recently created a Skype account which somehow required me to create a windows logon acct. After that, the entire browsing of passwords in Opera changed, for the worse. This must have caused it. They also made me put money into an acct, which I now cannot get back. Bastards.

No system password? I suppose you might still be using Windows 7, later versions almost require one.

Known issue, though, and dozens of threads on the topic. It is a bug in the underlying Chromium engine and is fixed in the upcoming Opera 50 (currently in Beta). As such, thread closed.

Ok-you caught me. It contains st. Damnit, I was sure I had it set to s, but I probably didn't see the Save button on the bottom before I exited. My Bad!
And thanks.

Ok-I missed that. My brain said "the VPN icon is oneach tab. So I set it on one tab and never noticed all other tabs had it set. Scoose um Moir.

It has to be in My folders is all. Not difficult really.

Had the same problem. It was corrected by ticking the box for hardware acceleration in Settings. I had that unticked for some other reason, which no doubt will arise again and bother me. Curiously, RadioGarden works in Chrome without having hardware acceleration.

Nope, not really. Cf https://cesiumjs.org/tutorials/cesium-up-and-running/

Yes-that did it. WHY??? What does ad blocking have to do with Javascript?
ps: thanks

It's a list issue, the same happens in Chrome with Ublock Origin.

I tried other browsers and in none the play is auto-pressed.

Thank you for that. Before opera 30+, I always backed up the password file from the appdata directory. Since then, I have been backing up the same data not knowing that the entire directory scheme had changed. Nothing I read in Opera discussed what to backup.
I did a password import today and the settings/passwords file now shows my 50+ entries, I have no idea from what date as the import function simply went 'zip' and it was done. Not knowing where it found the recovery password file, I can assume it came from the Opera 12 data, which means about 90% passwords must be invalid. Yes-going to be a royal PITA in the future.

I went ahead and changed my W* password to blanks to see if the settings/passwords data is changed. and they are still the same after the import. After Opera restart they are still all the same so it looks like the W8 password field isn't part of the saved Chrome password manager. Or Maybe the change doesn't happen until a system restart is performed.
For the record, I am a former computer systems engineer, now retired. I worked on all these types of problems for 40 years and it seems the job isn't finished yet. So much nonsense to have to deal with.
I tell people that most of the internet was written by children.

Are Opera coders not competent enough to make mods to poorly functional open source code?

They probably do mods but they prefer to wiat for a fix from Chromium so to avoid possible conflicts.
