      Hey, I have the same issue. The window wouldn’t show, but I could see that opera was opened. I could also see the tabs when my mouse hovered over it. I’ve tried the possible solutions above, but none seem to work.

        @jiafoongwee This also worked for me. Opera is back again on the main screen. Thanks.

          This solved my problem.

          Has numbers of tabs in incognito mode for two weeks suddenly they stopped working. Used windows+d multiple times and then clicked on opera minimum window and it got maximized

                  Nice workaround! I speculate that it might be a windows scaling issue with the Opera Window. Sometimes pressing the "Windows Key" + "arrow left/arrow right/arrow up/arrow down" to snap the Opera window might work. I figure trying any sort of keyboard command to manipulate the Opera window might fix it.

                      I've had this occur to me multiple times but several months apart and I can't recall the previous solution that worked. I'm running Windows 10 on a laptop with a dock, the laptop screen, and 2 LCD monitors. The topic referenced above suggests windows + D but this does not work for me.

                      When I hover over the Opera icon in the task bar it shows the windows are active but hidden. When I try windows + D it applies to the current window open but I can't get the Opera window to open in order for the key presses to apply to that program.

                      Help?
