Since the last update, version 115.0.5297.0, the launcher.exe command has disappeared. I had created a shortcut to launch Opera Developer using that command, now without it I'm using the setup command, OperaSetupDeveloper, to launch it, which I don't think is the correct way. Thanks.
 
Is Opera from MS App Store or via their website?
Does the app/program show under the Start menu? If yes then you can right click & choose to place a shortcut on the Start menu.
If you can find the Opera folder then you could create a shortcut to Opera.exe & move it to the desktop.
 
Opera Developer is from their website https://www.opera.com/it/browsers/opera/developer

It does show on the start menu, but I wouldn't want to put a shortcut on the start menu, I used to have a shortcut somewhere hidden as it's a shared PC and I only use the Developer when using VPN.

I can find the Opera Developer folder but weirdly enough it doesn't have any executable files in it, before it had launcher.exe, now that has disappeared. I'm currently launching it via the OperaSetupDeveloper executable, although it goes through some sort of pre-installation process every time.
 
I've downloaded and installed this: Opera_Developer_115.0.5305.0_Setup_x64, not seeing any difference, still no launchable file.
 
Strange unless their developer version doesn’t have an Opera.exe file. As it’s a developer/Beta version then it might be a bug so I’d recommend reporting it as such.
