Startup page options don't work.

The options for the startup page no longer work, i.e. the startup page always starts with a fresh page and doesn't allow starting with tabs from a previous session or opening with a specific page or set of pages.

@snews2ss Starting with previous opened tabs is the default option. What happens when you start Opera?

@snews2ss What happens when you try to define a page to be opened when you start Opera?

@leocg The default option used to work, but now all I get is the speed dial page, whether I select previous tabs or a specific url.

This is on my Win 11 laptop or on my Win 10 laptop, but with the Win 10 laptop there is the additional oddity that the last tab open, whatever it is, can be closed and the whole browser closes. On the Win 11 laptop, closing the last tab will leave the speed dial tab open and not close the browser.

@snews2ss So when you Opera Opera, you only see one tab with the speed dial?

@snews2ss Opera doesn't close when you close the last tab.

@leocg Only the speed dial tab is there when I open Opera, whether I have selected tabs from a previous session or a specified page.

@snews2ss You can try deleting the content of the Session folder in the profile directory.

@snews2ss The option to open the start page/speed dial together withe the previous opened tabs is selected? If so, disable it and check what happens.

@leocg So I set the startup option to begin . a fresh page, closed and restarted Opera, then set the startup option back to using previous tabs and it worked. I'm a little puzzled why the same problem occurred on two different laptops at the same time, but are now working as desired. Thanks very much for the assistance.
