In this article, we will explore various solutions to tackle this issue.
1. Clear Cache
Cache build-up can interfere with browser performance. Clearing the cache may solve the problem by removing unnecessary files.
2. Disable Antivirus
Antivirus software like Webroot can sometimes conflict with Opera GX. We suggest temporarily turning off or uninstalling any antivirus software that could be causing the problem. For instructions on deactivating your antivirus, refer to our article here. If you need to completely remove a third-party antivirus program, please see our guide here.
3. Reinstall Opera GX
Reinstalling Opera GX can fix corrupted files or restore deleted ones without losing your browsing data. Following these steps should result in a successful upgrade or reinstallation of the browser.
4. Reset Opera GX Settings to Default
If the browser is still malfunctioning, resetting Opera GX settings to their default may help.
5. Disable Extensions
Extensions, especially those that are outdated or buggy, could be causing issues. Disabling all extensions could resolve the problem.
6. Create a New User Profile
If the earlier solutions don’t work, consider creating a new user profile in Opera GX as the issue might stem from the current profile.
