Greetings,
Did a search and not much there and what is is old for my issue:
I open the History tab and there's nothing there--ever--lately.I'm sure there was a recent update causing this issue because my browser history used to work just fine.
Any clues?
Browser: Opera 120.0.0
OS: Windows 11 Pro 24H2
Regards,

@DrOfTheDeep So not even pages you are currently visiting show up in History?

@leocg Opera One, I believe (not a gamer and it runs on my laptop) and to answer your second question there is nothing in History--it is bizarre.

@DrOfTheDeep That's strange.
Do a test: Close Opera, go to the profile directory (see the path in opera://about) and rename the History files.
Reopen Opera and check if History is now populated when you visit a page. -

@leocg thanks for the tip, typed opera://about and got the profile directory (couldn't find it using File Mangler) and renamed and have right now's history. Nothing there historically, but will check back tomorrow to see if it is recording. Interesting, will post again if it ceases to work like it should, thanks again.

@DrOfTheDeep said in History is blank:
couldn't find it using File Manager
In Windows Explorer (File Explorer), click "View" on the toolbar, goto "Show" and enable hidden items. That will allow you to see your "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData" folder so you can browse its subfolders where Opera's profile folder is at.
It's best to enable "File extensions" under view too so you can tell what file extension (if any) a file has.

@burnout426 yeah, I'll do that and put things back to the way it was when I was a power user doing command lines in DOS (DR DOS was my fav). Windows has dumbed me down.
