From the ui.log it looks like you are targeting the gx.games platform. You can change this to Windows if you want to run on Windows. The gx.games platform is expecting you to have the Opera GX browser installed, and it cannot find it, so it is failing - we will get that bit fixed, rather than letting it get stuck.

For a long time, GX the browser has not been required for this target and any browser can be used to test/play games, and as of 2024.11 you can now just create a .zip package that can be used with "any" external webhost, so there is even less reason to implement this check.
