Recently there has been new problem. I am loosing tabs but only in first workspace.
I am not using the browser extensively(not default/main browser) so I dont know if the old problem of loosing all tabs is still a thing. I open daily after my backup of browser folder finishes to check if the browser still has my tabs. I have to check becasue I only store 4 snapshots so if I ever left it unchecked and browser loose tabs then none of the snapshots will be useful. -

The 103.0.4928.16 auto install lost all my personalization! Now I have to uninstall it, install 101.0.4880.58 and then manually download and install the new one and hope for the best, or just stay on 101.0.4880.58, if I want my bookmarks, extensions, etc. Ugh. Is there was way to turn off the automatic installations? So that I can monitor whether people are losing their personalization with each new version, as seems to be the case too often, before manually downloading and installing, if seemingly safe?
In this thread: Is 102.0.4880.70 safe to install in terms of losing user data? it has been explained that the file structure of Opera is the culprit, and 103.0.4928.16 doesn't fix that. Elsewhere it has been suggested that Profile Migration is the problem, or lack thereof, or corrupted migration. One poster suggested installing Chrome to see how it is done properly, the format of the file structure, and possibly editing the Opera supporting file structure to fix that. See the cited thread. Anyone? Help! -

So I am back on 101.0.4843.58 (not 4880) and everything is back, BUT I have a pending install, I see, not of my choice, an auto install, probably to 103....16. Will it have my personalization in it? God knows. I am inclined to manually download and install it, rather than allow the auto install to happen. Maybe it is six of one, and half a dozen of the other. Who knows? Guess I will try it my way. Why did the first auto install lose me all my personalization? Probably all my files are corrupted, as now one else is weighing in on this, so I presume that no one else is losing their personalization.

Well, that worked. I am now on 103.0.4928.16 with all my personalization back, having manually downloaded and installed it, but no idea if that had anything to do with it. Uninstalling 103, and going back to 101.0.4853.58 did, not doubt. Looking over the profile files' structure, they appear the same, so I can't tell what was fixed by uninstalling and going back to the old reliable version then going forward. Ugh. What a pain Opera is becoming. If it were not for a particular extension which works on Opera, but not on other browsers, like Firefox and Edge--although I have not tried Chrome, I would have given up by now.

I updated Opera to include VPN, only to find my speed dialling tabs have all been deleted, replaced with useless tabs that I do not want. What a waste of my time! If this is what Opera does then its time I moved on. Pathetic!

I had closed Opera One, and later re-opened it without restarting my computer. Everything in Opera has completely reset back to default. It even had to do an update which I had previously done.
Everything is gone:
- history
- bookmarks
- saved passwords
- Setting
It's as though I am on a new computer. Any ideas on what happened and if it can be reset? I tried to do a "recovery" and that didn't work.

I opened Opera today and lost all the tabs I had open. I was not logged in into my google account anymore, I lost my workspaces, I lost my bookmarks, I lost my extensions,... It's as if I had reinstalled Opera. I had the same problem when upgrading from Opera to Opera One so I guess there was some kind of update.
After I logged into my opera account I at least got my history, workspaces and bookmarks back. It's really a hassle to reopen all my tabs I had open to either save a website or join in a later session. Also the Homepage button is missing which I don't like in the new opera.

I got mine to work by selecting all in the Opera stable appdata roaming file and deselecting the default. and copying all into the default. All were restored including my addons. No cookies were saved. This was a complete restore to almost normal

I had the same issue...I have lost precious and needed information/data regarding my job and my next exams....I had to read forums and tried several "solutions" (The "deleting default folder" didn't workout for me) until I solved. Vaguely and temporarily, since i had to install an old version, and now I'm starting a crusade to find an easy and comprehensively way to disable auto update. How difficult is to provide an option in settings to do it????
I have had some bugs/slight problems with opera lately, just a nuance that hopely gets solved eventually, no problem. But this is not annoying, it is scary. Scary how you can lost all your data involuntarily.
