@burnout426 I did what you said, and it surprisingly worked! I changed the file name back to "opera.exe" and opened it and it still worked, so it must have been something with that windows defender stuff. Now my opera is back and now I have to remember which stuff I had where since it has been a while! Thank you so much and I hopefully dont come down this track again!

@burnout426 does leaving the family group help at all? I have left all things but it doesnt work at all. This is a bit confusing for some reason but some people said to delete the files relating to it in the Registry Editor, but I researched it and it looks risky for the computer... Is there anything you know that would work because I have no clue what it would be

@burnout426 Well I just solved it, something with the name was wrong, I asked Co-Pilot what to do, and it told me to rename the file name from "Opera.exe" to "Opera1.exe" So Issue Solved Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions and I finally can used this amazing Opera GX again, so thank you I wish I could vote you 5/5 since you were so helpful. But thank you!!!!

@burnout426 I did do a standalone installation of Opera Gx but that didnt work, I am currently looking into the other suggestions that you have made, so give me a couple of minutes and I will see if that works

@burnout426 so I will go over the details because I read mine over and its confusing.
. I got Opera around jan-feb of 2025 around 1 and a half years after my pc was bought
. I have microsoft family issues but none were happening until around may where opera wouldnt work at all.
. I looked up tutorial videos on how to fix it but none of that was working.
. What was weird was that my laptop and other devices werent affected and they could run opera smoothly (they also were in microsoft family)
. I have been using Microsoft Edge since and I really miss opera gx.
. Ive tried seeing if "running with admin" would work but no, seeing if its open in task manager, no. Changing my microsoft family to make it work, no. seeing if my vpn could be blocking it, no. Re-installing it because it may be a bug, no.
. Tried everything and it doesnt work.
.I will look into your suggestion, and to answer your questions...
. Google the app, (not to be confused with google chrome, which is different)
. I was restating that after I found out that google doesnt work at all.
. The only I have changed is what the reddit posts that you have posted when you first replied.
I dont know what happened and theres nothing wrong with my pc or vpn so I wouldnt know.

@burnout426 thank you for the suggestion for this issue, unfortunately this doesnt work at all, and now I cant use google or opera gx at all, maybe they are having issues with my pc. IDK? If there is anything taht can help please let me know

I have been using Opera Gx after I downloaded it 6 months ago. It is really good. But recently I can't open Opera at all. I tried to open it, but it would just close instantly. So, I restarted my PC, but it still didn't work. I have tried everything around it to get it to work. Like re downloading opera or disabling my vpn that I have but nothing is working. Sometimes it shows the opera animation before it starts but it never opens. What is weirder is that I have opera on laptops and phones and they work fine. But for some reason my PC won't open it at all. The pc is a year old, and it has the latest stuff on it so idk what's wrong with it. If someone can help and knows about this, please let me know.
