    Browers such as Chrome or Opera wont launch.


    I'm currently having an issue whenever I try to open Opera Gx the starting animation to launch it will play and a window will very briefly open but then just as quickly close. When I first built my PC, I had the same issue with Google chrome and chalked it up as a loss but now, I'm not sure as the issue has extended to the browser I use frequently.I've tried as many of the trouble shooting solutions I can find online from simply restarting to using command prompts and reinstalling Windows 11. All of the drivers are up to date as well.The only success I have had was when booted my PC in safe mo

    Possible minor bug - Update with both Opera 2x & Google Chrome installed

    Strange bug: Running the previous-older version of GPU-Z on Windows 7, 64-bit, SP1 and trying to update GPU-Z. Have Opera 23/24 installed as a 2ndary web browser, and Google Chrome installed as default/main web browser.
    Steps that work fine:
    1) Run GPU-Z whatever version.
    2) Open About.
    3) Click the links.
    Result: Links open correctly in default browser - Google Chrome.

    Steps to reproduce bug:
    1) Run GPU-Z, version before latest.
    2) Try to check for updates.
    3) GPU-Z says an update is available.
    4) Tell it to show the update.
    Result: Link opens incorrectly in Opera 23/24, instead of default Google Chrome web browser.
    Expected: Open in Google Chrome instead.

    Note: Opera 23/24 uses the same core as Google Chrome.

    Please check and fix, if necessary.
