      hi,

      Since yesterday, every time I open Opera, it appears to me 'Your Preferences files cannot be read Some features may be unavailable and changes to settings won't be saved.' I'm with the latest release of Opera. How to fix ?

      sorry I speak French.

        Delete the file and let Opera recreate it.

            Use the file explorer in Windows to get into your profile folder. You can find the location of the profile folder in About Opera in the Opera menu. Locate the file and delete it.

                You do not delete the whole folder, just the preferences file within the folder.

                      Try renaming/deleting the whole profile folder.
