@Johnex Thank you !
that worked out for me
Just want to add that when you right click on the Task bar's icon you should do it with SHIFT key pressed...

@Johnex Thank you! This solved the problem.
In my case one more thing was needed as the command looked like this:
C:...\vivaldi_proxy.exe --profile-directory="Profile 1" --app-id=*********

Removing the "_proxy" was not enough, I had to delete the "--app-id=*****" part too. I have to Vivaldi taskbar icons for two different profiles.

I have held off for a while before updating to 3.8 and today i updated and unfortunately vivaldi will not even open.
Vivaldi processes open briefly and then close.
i shall stick with 3.7 until a fix is upon us as several linux users have reported the issue here.
I use puppy linux 32bit.

@Priest72 Works in Mint, but it seems some of the older distros are throwing a fit.

@Ayespy indeed and to be fair my computer is quite old so i am anticipating issues at some point.
Puppy is not what you would really term a modern distro but it works and resurrected this old laptop.

Hi,
This is Windows Sub.

The current problem seems just on Linux.

@Priest72 I understand - and problems concerning reaching farther and farther back to keep supporting older distros while keeping pace with new developments will only increase, unfortunately. I haven't even fired up my 32-bit Mint box to see if 3.8 works there. Too many machines, not enough time.

@Zalex108 Good catch.
