      Download opera 101 link here Download Opera 101 from https://get.geo.opera.com/pub/opera/desktop/ Remember to virus check the downloaded software .

      On Windows: Go to control panel - programmes and features - select and uninstall Opera, - being careful not to select the uninstall Opera data tick box.

      Once this process is complete.

      Run the V101 download link that you downloaded earlier and all data should be restored!

        @celticcross That was lucky; I'm still in hack had to reset again this morning and sadly, very sadly unless the Opera team come up with a solution (or suspend the auto update) thinking of Firefox šŸ˜ž

          @celticperson Updates on Linux and Mac were flawless. On Windows I just installed the new version over 101. No problems either.

          Firefox to me looks like riding a dying horse. If were to leave Opera behind, Iā€˜d take Brave or Edge, or even Vivaldi to retain that old Opera feeling, I suppose.

            Oh for f***k sake, stop the autoupdate until you fix this mess. For two days now I have to uninstall 102 version, install 101 version and over the night it gets autoupdated and I'm again without everything. And then repeat the process until autoupdate destroys everything again.

            Total incompetence. I get that some bug managed to avoid testing, but you know about the problem for over two days now and autoupdate still updates to this broken update every single day.

            Just stop autoupdate, think and test the solution and then roll out a new fixed version.

              I'm not the only one experiencing this? Oh that takes a weight of my chest. I only had the issue this morning, but it has been nothing but frustration ever since. My main concerns are the open tabs and the bookmarks, which I've tried to restore myself with mixed yet promising results.

              Do we know if they're going to fix it and return everything to normal or am I going to have to faff around and try (probably fail) to fix it myself?

                  I hope this is a good lesson on why you must stop the auto-update policy you keep following for so long, before it's too late. šŸ‘ŽšŸ‘ŽšŸ‘Ž

                    @celticcross I tried Firefox - painfully slow. The comparison to a dying horse is brilliant. Yes, I'm on Edge now. Figuratively speaking as well. Still working to recover all my info that Opera so carelessly wiped out. I think I will put the Opera in storage and wait until they sort it all out and send me instructions as to how to recover what I've lost. I am 67 years old, and surprises like that make me feel homicidal, to say the least.

                      After update all bookmarks and settings are gone! Work of month! I never had this with previous updates!!

                      Help! Maybe an older version of Opera I could regain the bookmarks??

                        Is there a thread in which folks complain about Opera's obnoxious attempts to get us to accept cookies and ads (this despite their other seeming attempts to present themselves as a privacy browser)? First one must click past Manage cookies, eschewing the attempt to allow them during download, then, if installing, again one must deselect four check boxes allowing more ads and cookies. And of course, one's such choices are not remembered. Ugh.

                          And again for the third day in a row my browser was again autoupdated to this bug of 102 version where nothing works. Looks like it's gonna become a daily ritual of uninstalling 102 version and installing 101 version because you can't get your shit together.

                                @bigone201 I can't understand your problem.
                                If you have 101.0.4843.58, there currently is no auto-update as it was de-activated until there is a new version.

                                  @keybass Known bug if you read the comments and especially these of the mods.
                                  Just uninstall version 102 and install version 101.

                                      @simonov-89 I uninstalled version 102 and installed version 101 again.
                                      Since then, at least since Thursday last week it says Opera is up-to-date when I check for an update.

                                        @mathias87 I did too, but the browser updated anyway.

                                          Exactly. When you check the autoupdate it says it up to date. But I still get every day a red dot on the Opera logo and it says to restart the browser to get the latest version (which means it was already installed by itself). And the next time I close the browser it is again at 102 version with nothing working.

                                          Then I uninstall the 102 version in Windows, install the lastest 101 version and I'm ok for the day. The next day it is again automaticaly updated to 102 version. It happened for three days in the rown now and from the comments I'm not the only one.

                                          So whatever they did or didn't disable ... it's not working.

                                            I think I found the problem for every day updates ... It looks like Kaspersky Internet Security with its software updater updates Opera to 102 version everyday as I just look at that and ran it and says it found an update (102) for Opera. Where does Kaspersky finds this update I don't know as that is something for Opera developers to fix.
