Are you using Opera sync? Some people have reported that this hangs browser up, at least for some time after startup.

Are you using Opera VPN? This looks like one possible culprit (it is not bound to any extensions or tabs), but I would not bet on it anyway.You said that Opera browser task itself takes CPU - this should eliminate some tabs or some extensions going mad.

Thank youĭonq last edited by to hear about your problems You seem being not the only user, having such excessive use of CPU resources, unfortunately from all posts here (and in related threads) it is not clear, what may be cause of such trouble. I know computers are pretty complex nowadays with tons of processes going on all the time, but this just seems a bit strange as it is only Opera specific.Īny guidance or tips you may have would be much appreciated. My gut feeling tells me that during those 'stall and freeze' times, the Opera browser is communicating data or other contact or 'keep in touch' info with its 'parent host' somewhere in computer-land. And again, this 'issue' just started about 5 days go. But my Opera was still frozen and in one of its 'now pretty regular and random complete system failure stalls'. while this Opera 'stall and freeze' was in process.and amazingly I could do anything and everything.google search, pull up websites, etc. It was so bad and 'all consuming' that I could not even get the Opera internal task manager to open !!!! So I immediately switched to my Avast Browser. Just moments ago my computer went into another one of those 'almost 100% High CPU usage stalls'.and I could get absolutely nothing to work in Opera.no keys would respond at all.just like a total system failure and 'stall'. I usually have multiple Opera browser windows open.varying from 5 to 15 or so.along with another browser or 2.

The Windows task manager at this time shows the Opera Browser as the culprit. Possibly I am 'reading' the Opera Internal Task manager incorrectly, but I do not think so. The Opera internal task manager just shows the specific individual Opera Browser listing (at the top) as the only listing in the long list of processes that is 'causing or using' the high CPU drain. Just over the past few days, my Opera browser goes into a sort of 'stall' and 'about 90 to 100% high CPU usage' for 3 to 20 seconds or so.
