        @truesymmetryaa Opera doesn't support multiple profiles.

        You can create shortcuts to different profiles, but that's all.

            @truesymmetryaa Use --user-data-dir=x:\pathto\profile and change the name of the profile directory for each different profile you want to create.

              @leocg said in Two profiles on Opera GX:

              -user-data-dir=x

              "--user-data-dir=C:\Program Files\launcher.exe" should i change the path for this? what do i change it to?

                @truesymmetryaa Don't point to any executable file, just point to where you want Opera to put the user data.

                Something like --user-data-dir=C:\operaprofile1\ for example.

                So the shortcut should have something like this in its target field: "C:\Program Files\Opera developer\launcher.exe" --user-data-dir=c:\operaprofile1\

                Change the paths to match your launcher.exe location and desired profile directory
