      What old version of Opera are you trying to use and what was the last version that modified the profile?

            @hhsss Make a backup of that profile and create a new one to use the old version.

                    @hhsss Do you have sync enabled? Probably it will be the only way to use your current data.

                    What do you want to use from the current profile?

                      Hi @hhsss, try to launch the Opera from the shortcut or command line with the "--no-experiments" switch - that should ignore custom flags settings in the "Local State" file. If that helps, then launch the Opera, open opera:about, and make a note of the path to Opera's profile. Close the Opera, navigate to that path, and rename "Local State" file, then launch the Opera without the switch.

                            @hhsss Settings, at least some of them, should be synced.

                              Hi @hhsss, I mean using a terminal window (Linux/Mac), or command line window on Windows (cmd.exe), but you can simply add the "--no-experiments" switch at the end of the shortcut, that you use to run your Opera, so it will looks like for example "\Path\to\launcher.exe" --no-experiments.
