      Problem:

      • I see a "black screen" in each open window (no page, no menu etc., just the window-border)
      • The preview from the windows start-menu are black too

      Situation

      • I have more than one opera-window open, each containing a few tabs
      • I can navigate tabs, with <Ctrl>+<Tab>, open/close them (I can see these changes in Windows 11's menu-bar when hovering above the Opera-icon)

      What I did to get there

      • I put one of the tabs to fullscreen (pressing <F11>) and changed to another Opera-window with <Alt>+<Tab>
      • I worked in the other windows
      • going back to the fullscreen-window this one "got stuck" in fullscreen, couldn't click anything
      • going back to the other windows and changing tabs, testing fullscreen and going back, the window still was stuck in fullscreen, not responding. Trying to close it using <Ctrl>+<W> doesn't work in this window/tab!

      What I tried so far:

      • I can press <F11> to put the black windows into fullscreen (and back) but this doesn't work BUT it at least restores the title-bar with the opera-logo to the left and the window-icons on the right including the window border.
      • I restarted the Windows 11 graphics-driver
      • I closed "all" running applications to free up RAM (read: all that I started myself after logging in like Notepad, File-Manager, Task-Manager)

      What I need/want

      • I need to save my work or at least
      • bookmark the open tabs "in blind mode" as I can't see, where I click
      • Is there a way to see the open tabs somewhere so that I can at least write it up some information from there?
      • I opened some of the tabs in private-mode:
        is there any chance to get entered data/cookies saved "manually" to get a chance of continuing where I left at least at some of the pages?

      Side note:
      No, there is no backup or whatsoever as I was reading some article and opened references and links from there for working on them in the office whilst on a long commute. I made a few quick notes in one of the browser-windows (can't find it) but it seems that didn't get saved, at least there's no update in the associated cloud-file (Google Drive - but this is more likely a completely different problem)
