Opera's latest version is: 103.0.4928.34--has anyone tried it yet? Is it safe with respect to (wrt) migration data loss, or not?

Okay, I tried 103.0.4928.34 on one computer (Win 10/64) and it seemed to work okay, so far. I will report back, after installing it on the other one computer (also Win 10/64, FWIW, but different machine).

Hello everyone and thanks for reading.
I use Opera as my primary browser because I enjoy its features but today... I have the habit, which I should stop, of keeping 20 tab. Each time I reboot, I may recover the tabs but today I have restarted the computer Opera has been updated to a very large color with something called Aria... But yes, the tabs, sesions, paswords, history... all disappeared. Can I do anything to get it back?
Thank you -

After a 3-week vacation, I returned and started up my PC, and my Opera browser had been completely replaced with a brand-new and totally sterile version that has none of my bookmarks, passwords, history, etc. A system restore to an earlier date did not change the new Opera back to "my" version. I want my old version back with all my personalizations.

@leocg Can you advise if this Reddit post is correct?
https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/wiki/opera/new_profile_layout/ about the proper layout file structure for Opera/chromium now? There is a reference to it in the thread which you suggested, in which Opera actually responds to this issue. -

Hello,
I was all fired up to post and complain about a problem, but now I'm telling people how I fixed it.My opera updated from version 63.something to 103.something and my speed dial, history and open tabs all vanished. I was bewildered and livid. I stopped using Opera for a couple weeks while trying to sort it out. I don't use any extensions, it wasn't an issue with my antivirus, and my computer didn't crash. I also don't have Sync set up and still don't because I am perhaps a little paranoid about what it would sync and such. Anyway, what I did (when I couldn't find an answer from Google, and that's part of why I'm writing this) was some of the steps here. Specifically this.
In case those links ever change, I went to opera://about and confirmed both
The Profile folder:
(C:\Users{your user name}\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Default)And the Cache folder:
(C:\Users{your user name}\AppData\Local\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Default).you can go to command prompt and type the following separately to open each folder:
%AppData%\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Default
%AppData%\Local\Opera Software\Opera Stable\DefaultFrom there I renamed both "Default" folders to "Default.old1" because for some reason one of them already had a Default.old. I opened Opera and I had all of my unorganized crap (30+ open tabs), back, some of my history (not super important) and my speed dial.
Let's just ignore that I don't remember what I was doing with most of the tabs.

That says it all. Both times, I have had to manually re-create all my saved passwords, shortcuts, etc., etc. It is starting to tick me off. And it won't save my wallpaper. Windows 11 Home 23H2.
It's an update problem. WTH????
