Do more on the web, with a fast and secure browser!
Download Opera browser with:
I'm running Windows 10 home version 1809 on a desktop pc.
Spell Check is no longer working in Opera browser (version. 57.0.3098.102). I have tried toggling the options in the settings that are shown in the screenshot panel below in an attempt to get it working again. This has made no difference, the problem is still there.
Before un-stalling Opera and re-installing is there anything else I can try first?
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.
I appreciate you trying to help sgunhouse, unfortunately it's not due to Avast's Firewall as I use Windows 10 Firewall.
Out of interest which anti-virus are you running? As your problem of "really slow to load up and to load pages" sounds just like mine.
Hello,
I am experiencing a problem with Avast anti-virus (version 17.5.2302) making Opera browser (version 46.0.2597.39) run extremely slow.
I'm not knocking Avast, after all I am using the free version and I know glitches can crop up occasionally when you're dealing with computers and the Internet etc.
I have given Avast the heads-up on this.
After trying suggestions from here (thank you), the only way I could bring back the fast operating speed of Opera was to uninstall Avast A/V. I did carry out a reinstallation of Avast A/V, but this just brought the problem back. The same problem also applies on another PC which is running Opera (version 42.0.2393.517).
Other browsers, Firefox, Edge, Internet Explorer and Nitro are not affected.
I'm running a desk top pc with O/S Windows 10 Home 64bit, AMD A8-5500 CPU and 8GB DDR3 RAM.
Is there anybody else having the same problem who are using Windows 10 Home 64bit and Avast A/V?
If so have you worked out a temporary solution?
Thanks for reading.
kuhlmanck was almost there, I just found it has to be "schedule tasks" and not "scheduled tasks" for W8.1. I realise that may be different if your not using O/S W8.1
I'm on Windows 8.1 too and that's where I looked for it - in the Task Scheduler. There are schedules for other browsers (Maxthon and Chrome), as well as other programs, but nothing about Opera. I think it's due to the installation method that I've chosen (as a standalone app).
Oops sorry I didn't pick up on that originally, yes that would make sense to me,
I'm running W8.1. If you enter "schedule tasks" (without the inverted commas) into your search bar you should find the Opera auto update line there in the Task Sheduler. Double click on the Opera line and it will open a new box/window where you can remove it.

I tried using the smaller thumbnails settings, working on your theory, as that made sense to me, but they are still slow to load. Unfortunately I could not detect any difference in the loading speed of the Speed-dail thumbnails in the "big Speed Dial thumbnails" settings or in the smaller thumbnails settings.
They're still saved in their original size in the disk they're just downscaled in the UI.
Interesting. Is it possible to change the original size?
Basically if you were using the experimental start page in the previous version you'd have much less icons to load (as some pages were represented with URLs) and their file size overall is smaller. Now you have (bigger in size) thumbnails for each and every page which weigh down more in the HDD load time.

Why Opera 27 is so slow loading the speeddial images for the icons ?
Icons appears near immediately (like one time)
only now before you see the corresponding images of each icon you must wait some time
Why this happens ?
There is an option to speed this thing?
Thanks

You're not the only one with this problem, take a look at the link below.
It's a shame as it slightly spoils a lovely to use browser, one that I have been a fan of for many years!
