      Hi! I just closed a window and can't find the way to open it back. I read some people talking about some history menu this option is, but I can't even find a history menu. Can anyone help me?

        You should be able to do it from the tabs menu.

          Which is to say ... there's an icon that looks like 2 bars with an arrow below them next to the Minimize button at the right end of the tab bar, if you click that you should get a menu with open tabs, closed tabs and closed windows on it (you may have to click on the section to expand it).

            As of my Opera 36, the shortcut to reach history seems to be Ctrl H.

              I cannot seem to find any open Windows in the tabs menu, only recent tabs from the current session. If I close the whole window, I cannot restore anything. (Except from using the History menu)

                'Janela' means 'Window'

                  Unfortunately I do not have that. Only "Other devices" and "Open tabs"... It's a clean install of Opera. I tried also in Opera Dev and it's the same. No Window-1

                    Did you open another window and then closed it? It will only appears after you have closed a second window.

                      Oh, now i see. So it does only remember closed windows in the current session. I need at least 2 windows open for this to work...
                      I thought I could restore the last closed window, regardless if I closed all windows or not.
                      This should be changed. In Chrome I would use this feature when I have to restart the browser and restore my last session, it seems that Opera makes this impossible without using the History tab.

                        You need Session Buddy. It is a Chrome extension but you can add it to Opera using the "Download Chrome Extension". I have been using it for years and it is awesome. It does everything you want and then some.

                          thanks for suggestion, but i prefer not to install another 2 extensions for this feature that should have been built-in. I choose opera because i am done with chrome.

                            If it was a private window, it won't reopen.

                                Yep, it always worked like this in Opera.

                                This should be changed

                                You can request it in Suggestions Box.
