I've deleted my profile many times, even all Vivaldi folders in AppData. I have Windows Defender and disabling it doesn't help.
pettern said it may be because of N edition and I need to install Media Feature Pack and it solved problem for me

Pettern seems to be correct.
MS upgraded my X64 Windows 10 Enterprise N to Version 10.0.19041 Build 19041 last night, and this morning Vivaldi went to the pale V splash screen and then disappeared without trace. Several times.So then I upgraded Vivaldi to the latest version , and as egigoka put it so well:
Steps:
Install Vivaldi 3.1+
Try to open
Expected behavior: browser opens
Experienced behavior: opens windows with Vivaldi logo and no interface for couple of seconds and closes...After searching for a while here, I realised that it HAD to relate to something of MS's upgrade, and went looking there (Technet) , to discover that Win 10 N versions do not include the Media Feature Pack; it has to be installed separately.
So I did, and Vivaldi is back! Thank you all.Posting this in the hope that it will help others to a speedier resolution...
Note that other than installing the latest version, I have done nothing to Vivaldi itself.
