      @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.

      Another user with this same problem. As I said previously I am behind a firewall so have been using the offline installers since around 2006. Over the last couple of years I have experienced this same "hangup" with the installer. I usually cancel it through Task Manager then restart the install and all goes well so I've learned to just live with it ....

        @stolis I couldn't agree more! Users should have the choice, which virtually every other program, let alone browser, offers.

        I seem to have gotten lucky this morning, or at least Opera finally came through with suspension of the 102 update, since I have my tab islands as I left them last night, and the rolled-back version still operating. I hope it stays that way.

          @gmiazga:

          Any update on the progress? It's been 4 days since you posted that you were trying to recreate the issue with a "fake" profile.
          @paul-durham may be onto something with the time it takes. I can't remember if I clicked on Opera again during the 102 install, but it's possible I did and maybe that made it treat me like a new account. Is there a definite group of people who waited the entire time for the install to finish automatically and ALL of them had the profile migration work correctly?

            Who wants to be a guinea pig??? 😧

              @sklunk I did it, everything is fine. Restarted Opera twice and my computer (Mac) once just to see that it was all there. I wasn't too worried, despite what some people say, the old profile is there even with the older 102 update. I did save all the profile stuff fresh just in case.

                @spike666 So did I just a moment before. There's no loss and no issue as it wasn't with the update to 102 before as well.
                I really regret what happened to those that are rightly complaining as it seems. But there seem to be at least a silent minority or even majority that's fine. So am I.
                Hopefully this new update fixes it for all.

                  WooHoo - it seems to work!

                  I installed 102.0.4880.29 over top of 101.0.4853.58 without any problems. It moved all my data and everything works. You still get the silly "O" splash screen and noise, but you can disable that by deleting the "opera_gx_splash.exe" file (but you need to do this every time Opera updates).

                  Disclaimer -- As I have posted before, I am behind a firewall and use the offline installer. This is what worked for me. I have not tried Opera autoupdate so I don't know if that works or not.

                        Lost all my tabs and history, etc., in the update. How do I initiate the "rollback" noted in another post to try and get them back?

                              @stolis Why does Opera refuse to allow a cancel updates option? This will turn away current Opera users. The field is loaded with other browsers. One would think Opera was aware of the competition and work with its users.

                                Devs finally fixed the annoying issue on version 102.0.4880.16, I installed version 102.0.4880.29 manually over the older version 101.0.4843.58. Thanks a lot for the fix

                                  102....16 was bad, 102....29 was good, anyone on 102....33? I am reluctant to install it, without folks weighing in on it.

                                    Is it just me or after some time of use, Opera slows down to a crawl, have to restart it...

                                      @winblood: This is new behavior with 102. I got 102.0.4880.33 on macOS.

                                        Okay, I installed 102....33 on one computer--win 10-64, fully updated, FWIW. Seems fine. I examined every last setting, out of curiosity, and tweaked a few, basically locking the browser down. I did not test response time, however. But that computer is pretty old and slow, so it would only be relative to previous use. More later, after trying it on "the more important" Win 10-64 computer in the household. No sync issues.

                                          No slowdown for me on the one computer.

                                            Oops, installed 102....33 on the other computer and lost my extensions--again! Uninstalled and went back to 102....29 where they had been, not. Had to go all the way back to 101....58, but thankfully there were there. Yes, I was supposedly synced in the other two installations, but to no avail. I need to go up and find that link someone offered for syncing (power sync?).
                                            It was kmara:
                                            "Let's face it if they said, officially, 'Anyone encountering missing account settings and data can find it at [https://www.sync.opera.com/](link url) " that might have saved them the migration, but I agree with others that comprehensive flow testing in advance of release would have been the better option, then they would know to say that, or to prevent it from happening in the first place. It would have saved them a lot of migration."
