      @wesll-ey @wesll-ey To solve it, go to Opera's install folder, find the "launcher.exe' and mannually drag it to the taskbar, then it should not unpin itself anymore. The default path for the regular Opera Browser is C:\Program Files\Opera , and for Opera GX is C:\Users\YourUserHere\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera GX .

      It should work

          @tparavani Yeah, it works, thanks! At least we have a workaround for now. I just do hope they will fix it soon.

                Hello, I have such a problem that I can not attach to the taskbar the two icons of different Opera and Opera GX browsers.

                The film that I recorded shows the problem most:

                https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9YbzLHpOkg&feature=youtu.be

                How to make these icons not disappear after starting the program?

                Sorry for my english. 😢

                          I have the same problem, but I found a solution to fix it :

                          1°) Go to the installation folder of Opera GX
                          2°) Right click on "launcher.exe" => send to => Desktop (shortcut)
                          3°) Move the new shortcut in the installation folder of Opera GX
                          4°) Rename the shortcut "Opera GX" for more visibility
                          5°) Drag the new shortcut from the installation folder of Opera GX to the taskbar and unpin the Opera (classic if is already pin
                          6°) Enjoy!

                          PS : sorry for my english

                            Hi there, I am having the same problem and I have installed using the "All Users" option. For me I noticed that if I pin it then close the browser it stays pinned. If I open the browser again and close it it unpins itself.

                              I want add opera to the Windows taskbar, i add it but every time i open Opera the icon is removed from Taskbar when i close it. Why and how to solve?

                              Steps:

                              • right click on the opera desktop icon
                              • add to taskbar
                              • open Opera
                              • close opera
                                Results: the icon is no more present on the Windows taskbar

                              La tua versione è LVL 1 (core: 60.0.3255.50962)
