      @vince42 Try checking if opera://sync-internals/ gives you any hint on what may be happening.

        Try 'n to do what you're try ' n to do immediately kills all "metro" applications and components and disables Start Menu. And win 10 updates may not work + uninstalling n e progs.. manual.. If not done right..

        if you was gonna move 1 or 2 folders from roaming would be safer i guess.. Are you running outta room on that drive..

          Try to check the installer_prefs.json file, and change the profile type from false to True.

            I am doing this for a living, trust me: it works, nothing is broken - you just need to know what you do and you're fine.

                I switched from false to true, started Opera and were able to start the synchronization. All bookmarks, settings etc were gone though.

                Then I switched back to false, were able to log in and at least my bookmarks and settings came back. My passwords seem also to be restored now.

                Thank you for this hint!!! 1,000 Kudos!
