Opera crashing and rests to default

V54.0.2952.64 WIN 8 64 bit.
Constantly freezing and crashing. Normally keeps settings when restarting. HOWEVER, if my laptop crashes or gets turned off, when restarting Opera mostly reverts to the defaults, meaning I have to hunt/restore speed dial, reset all my settings and extensions.

Last few versions seem to have got worse - to the stage where I am thinking of not using anymore.

ok...I checked out your link.
How can I check if any extension etc is causing it......it is random. much of the time it's ok with all extensions/ad blocker etc...then sometimes the same elements present it crashes.
Here is the other information:
Your OS (Linux, Mac, Windows)

Your version of Opera
V54.0.2952.64 - been happening last few versions

If the problem is with a page, a link to it
Not linked to any site/page

A screen-shot of the problem if it's related to something not showing as should
n/a

A description of the problem, including as much as information as possible.
Will freeze/crash. On restart it's ok.
If laptop crashes THEN it defaults to original settings and I have to restore everything in Opera.

Steps to (try to) reproduce the issue
Cannot reproduce to order..it is random

Expected behaviour and actual one
Would expect it to restore to last settings....NOT default

@gprit What about trying with a clean profile?

done - as I said it's difficult to tell if anything has worked as it is random.

Just checked. After changing password to opera auth from other browser, sync in Opera doesnt work and the browser doesn't freeze. SO OperaSync freezes browser.

oops.....crashed again and THIS time defaulted back to original - had to delete lazada/amazon etc reset all my settings and addons. This is rediculous. Can someone point me to where my profile/addons are stored so I can back up and just restore them?
