Hi, is there a possibility to add a checkbox inside preferences so I can have the "Other bookmarks" folder in the right side of the bookmark bar? Just like Chrome or Edge have? Thanks.

@simonov-89 migration to 102.0 profile copies files and nothing is deleted. So downgrade work, so does copying all files from root profile dir to Defaults folder inside profile also works.

@gmiazga I did, yeah. But you do realize that many users do not sit on forums, do not understand computers well? It's a major problem.

@simonov-89 that's why update is fully disabled.
Stable builds are rolled out gradually, usually on first day only users who update manually get new version. So generally those that download build from opera.com and install it or those that visit opera:about page to trigger update.
Issue with migration didn't affect all users and we are still not sure what triggers such situation. We haven't been able to reproduce it internally.

@gmiazga: Perhaps the length of time it takes to complete the upgrade is a clue. I was tempted to manually restart Opera after it closed during the upgrade. I suspect if I manually launched Opera during the process it would have left me with nothing. I have hundred of open tabs with tab islands, etc. Perhaps test with a similar configuration and then launch Opera in the middle of the upgrade.
PS. I am on Windows 11 Enterprise, 16GB RAM, 250GB NVME SSD, CrowdStrike antimalware.

@paul-durham thanks, that's what we suspect. Migration should be atomic operation so it shouldn't be possible to start Opera while it wasn't finished. We are currently trying to reproduce it with fake profile with size around 100GB. Working also on some other solution for profile migration.

@gmiazga if it's any help to you, Opera opened unexpectedly, with the blank profile, when I was trying to open another program (WordWeb Pro) which wanted to send me to its update site. Normally, this would open my existing Opera profile, but this time I got the singing O and the blank profile. I may have been caught in the middle on this one. Still need a good fix though.

@opera-comments-bot Just a pity that the v.`102 update wipes all bookmarks and previous stored speed tabs.
I removed V102 via my control panel, being carefull to retain all data. Then reinstalled V101 and everything worked. -

@burnout426 I'm not that computer savy, and I would need someone to either walk me through it step by step, or just do it for me. I am tempted to dump Opera and go back to Firefox.

@younes-csm How did you do it? Could you walk me through it? I'm not computer savvy, and it totally screwed me up.

@opera-comments-bot OK that's great! Proud of you! Now where are my bookmarks and my speed dial?
I don't have the necessary skills to reset my bowser to the older version as outlined in posts here, so what do I do? Where's my stuff??? -

It's a real f....ed up cluster f.... you did with this update. First the browser autoupdated yesterday and I lost everything. Then I did the system restore in windows to get all the data back. Then I read here that you stoped autoupdate until you find a solution. And today when I started my computer Opera was again autoupdated to version 102.
For f.... sake stop the damn autoupdate if you f...ed up during testing of this update.
Now I copied, as suggested, all the content in local and Roaming from main folder into Default subfolders and I got the browser back is it was. Now I have two sets of files taking place on my hard drive and I'm not sure if I can now safely delete all the files in the main folders since I copied everything into Default subfolders.
I demand the option to have autoupdate disabled and the system just informs you that you can install update if you chose to do it. That way I can at least first check the forums here if you managed to f..... it again.
Jesus ... first you bring this piece of crap Opera One out that I had no choice not to get it, then I have to listen to that annoying sound and video everything the browser updates and now you managed to break all the data with an update. Does anyone actualy does any proper testing before releasing updates???

Why did you delete all my settings, passwords, history, bookmarks opera. Why do you always need to remove your shortcut when you auto update even when i ask you to not auto update. Why do you need to change your UI desing when i've almost gotten used to the old new one.

My bug report message two days ago was to ask that they withdraw the update until fixed. Seems like the right thing to do, rather than leave some users at risk.

@gmiazga: I use Opera in three different computers, Laptop, Work and Home and it happened in all of them. The same exact problem.
Also I hope you take this opportunity to finally fix the old problem in your installer, I get the offline installer and many times it starts downloading I don't know WTF is it downloading and ends up in error after I force close it, than run again.
I've reported this for years, has happened since at least 2016 or 2015. Windows 10 and 11.

@spike666 Besides, the point is, that after an update I should not have to do it.

All data includes extensions. Go back to 101....58 after uninstalling 102....16 "Opera One," or attempt the "manual data transfer," described above. I will wait for a version without problems. Opera's QC is poor. Fair warning.
