@burnout426 - thanks, I just did a full factory reset and built Win 10 from the ground up without success. But I will explore this and post back if it fixes it.

Does the win 11 Snap Layout feature work in Opera?

It works with Chrome and Firefox - Opera is my preferred browser so I was hoping there is a way to enable it.

Thank you - looking at the Chrome fix it looks like this could be the solution.

I will give it a go

This worked for me - had to manually delete the opera_gx_splash.exe

@sgunhouse standard Windows Defender security and firewall. Any suggestions?

BTW the error message is: Failed to load resource: net::ERR_TIMED_OUT

Searching the opera forum reveals one other post from 2016 on Ubuntu, so it does seem rare

@TJCJC thanks for the info, it supports my suspicion.

I think AMD is fine for the casual/light user and is economical too, but otherwise it runs the risk of such unpredictable issues. I had one other with Netgear Genie software in 2015, which was eventually patched.

This PC is nearing 4 yrs old anyway - so time for an upgrade and switch back to intel I think.

I use Opera on many PCs - it works great and I love it... but on one specific PC (Lenovo Z50 with AMD A10 CPU with Win 10) it is really bad. Many sites time-out and the browser is unusable at times. Chrome works fine and I tested Opera with gigabit wired connection direct to a new router with 150 Mbps ISP connection. Other intel i5 based PC's work fine on this same network, even with a slower 2.4GHz Wifi connection.

I have cleared caches, un-installed, re-installed, got the latest versions and even tried the portable version - no luck.

Has anyone else experience this with AMD CPU's?

Is there a solution to increasing the time-out parameters so I don't have to invest in another intel PC?

On Windows I am able to drag a bookmark folder on to the Opera title bar of the browser - all the bookmarks in that folder are opened simultaneously in separate tabs. There is also an "Open All" option in the context menu.

This did not work on my Mac - is there a similar feature in Opera for the Mac?
