Same problem here, I noticed it about a day or two ago. I've finally figured out, initially it seemed it was doing it after more than 3 tabs were open. Spent the past hour trying to search and figure it out. I just did an update to 72.0.3815.207 and now it's doing it regardless of the number of tabs open. The only way around it is to type in the full search, cut it, and then do a paste and go. Other wise, just hitting enter, get nothing-no suggestions, no search, nada. Also, it seems(could be wrong it seems kind of random) it's fine if it's a tab that's already been open and used. But when you open a new tab, it won't work.

@leocg Not sure what exactly did it, but I got it up and running I used CCleaner and cleaned again,did registry, still showed Opera though it was uninstalled. Did cleaning on Windows tools. Then did a search and found some Opera bits in Program x86 folder. Deleted those. Cleaned registry again. Did restart. Finally stopped showing up on task manager. Did another clean/registry. Then redownloaded it. So, I'm guessing it was something to do with the fragments I had leftover? I don't know...but bookmarks all of it are still there. Lesson learned, back up all that stuff lol. THANK YOU for your help and responses!!!

@andrew84 Good point. I finally broke down kicking and screaming and bought a new computer with Win 10 last week, went from Win 7. Win 10 is constantly updating it seems. I'll have to break out my laptop with the Win 7 and see if there's issues on that.

@burnout426 Honestly, I'm not sure. I know restart was one of the first thing I tried. Actually now I just looked, I've uninstalled Opera again, and they're still showing in task manager?? LOL I'm going to go and try a different program to clean everything up. Maybe I'm still having bits leftover? I don't know...this is frustrating though.

@leocg Clean profile? Sorry not sure exactly what you mean. I didn't have a profile with Opera, but I did create one to try to save my bookmarks since it wouldn't open and let me export them somewhere. Actually, it did have my email on file, so maybe I did have one. If that's what you meant, how do I go about trying a clean profile?

I think it was 2 days ago, browser wouldn't open. Worked fine the night before. Get the hourglass showing up for 2 seconds, then nothing. Tried everything I can think of-restart computer, used CCleaner which was not able to force Opera to close, uninstall/reinstall several versions at least 5 times now over the past 2 days, paused Zone Alarm firewall, nothing. When I go into Task Manager to end process, it won't end the 2 exe ones on there. Windows 7, as stated ZoneAlarm firewall, Avira AV-which I haven't thought if that might be the issue, I've noticed that being rather spammy. Also, I just remembered about 2 months ago, I had this same problem with Firefox. Any ideas, because I really dislike using Chrome?
