      I changed it from false to true while the browser was running maximized, saved the file, closed the browser, and reopened the file. It was set to false again.

      You need to edit the file while Opera is closed. Forgot to mention it, sorry.

        No, I know. I tried it this way on purpose. I probably said it wrong anyway. It's obviously writing the preferences file correctly, but it's not detecting if the browser is maximized correctly, but will read the file correctly and apply it, lol. I'm guessing it's just a regular ol' bug? Is there a special place to report something like this? Or does Opera read through the forums and fix things they see?

              I found a Preferences file in:
              C:\Users[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Next

              But the section posted above is not there at all.

                <blockquote>But the section posted above is not there at all.</blockquote>Hi @protocol, it's known issue:

                • "I recently upgraded from 12.17. New installation does not create such section." - the source link,

                • "I reported it as DNA-27980 for you" - the source link.

                  Thanks l33t4opera.

                  I just stuffed my preferences file up trying to do it.

                  I had to redo all my settings again. 🙂

                      In Opera's profile folder. Check Help > About Opera for the path.
