      I use a two monitors setup. One I keep a OperaGX's instance in a secondary monitor for social media, messengers, things like that, and another instance on main monitor I use for youtube, streams, wathever I need to keep a focus.
      The issue is, when I close the instance on my main monitor, the second instance on secondary monitor resets and open on my main monitor! That's so annoying because if I uploading something on Google Drive for example, I lose all the progress. I already try to drag the tab from one monitor to another but it just resets it all!
      Do you guys know some workarround for it? I'm almost giving up opera because of that.

      My specs:
      Windows 10 Pro
      OperaGX LVL5 (core: 105.0.4970.63)

        By "instance", do you just mean another Opera window or do you mean a whole separate instance of Opera (that has a different profile etc.)?

          It sounds frustrating! Have you tried pinning the tabs separately in each instance of OperaGX? That might help maintain the tabs' position on their respective monitors even when you close one instance. Another option could be using extensions like "DisplayFusion" or "Dual Monitor Tools" to manage window positions more precisely on your dual monitor setup.

              @ameliaava the problem is like I said before. If I uploading something on Google drive I lose the upload progress.

                Thanks for the clarification.

                When you close the window on the main monitor, are you just clicking it's X or closing it some other way?

                  Does the same thing happen with a test standalone installation of Opera GX too?

                    @burnout426 So, I recently did a fresh Windows install on my PC. And I close clicking on X or sometimes ALT+F4.
