Yea... it works

I had Win8.x & Opera worked flawlessly for me. Im now on Windows (10) Technical Preview & been using Opera since. Im not sure what the issue is that you mentioned but Im here to tell you its specific to YOU (and possibly others) since I didnt experience on my PC

My Opera just did its "Checking for updates" & did NOT find version 27.0.1689.2

Today I came to the forums & the entire first page was full of threads about a bunch of garbage... Heart problems, black magic in dubai... pardon my language but What the FUCK...!?

A forum with a page full of advertisement threads created by what I can only assume were bots

Same here. Opera on Win10, no issues

Opera://flags/#experimental-start-page must be ENABLED. If not, enable it, restart Opera and see up-left in the Speed Dial. An Option saying ''Try out the new Start Page'' should appear.

No option in the top-left either

in my previous comment I meant ENABLED, sorry for the confusion I may have caused. I really want the new Opera start page, Ive seen it online & I really like the look of it... PLEASE HELP ME!

Every time I login I get a message saying Synchronization servers are not available but Opera 24 sync'd with NO problem but now it doesn't work, I have all my settings the same

For some reason it didnt work so here it is:

I have Opera 25 & I keep seeing these posts about a new speed dial page & a button to switch to it...

I dont have said button & Ive also disabled the setting in opera://flags for the "new speed dial" & nothing changed on a reboot. Heres a screen-shot of my Opera:

(didnt work...)

DirectWrite IS the culprit I enabled it to test this thread & yea it's DirectWrite... it should be disabled by default or they should change its name to something resembling the word "bold"
