All my tabs and desktop were reset to default after browser crashed. I think there is some file with the lost session in %AppData%\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Sessions, but I can't do this recovery.
Alread try on history, but some tabs ist'n show.

Did you back up %AppData%\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Sessions, immediately after crash?

If not and you have run Opera few times afterwards, then most likely you don't have suitable backup.

If you have run Opera only once after crash, then copy those numbered files out of Sessions into some safe place(1), close your Opera, backup sessions once more (to some other place(2)), delete current content of Sessions and copy there oldest (or longest, should be same) saved backups.

If this doesn't help or you have even less tabs than currently, then close Opera again and restore Session folder contents from second backup (2).

@donq Thanks for the feedback. I believe I really missed that backup.

Note that Sessions folder contains two copies of files, you need to test with single pair (Session & Tabs). But most likely Opera has already ovewritten the needed one.

This has happened here too, few times already (I'm on Opera developer branch, this is often less table) - thereby my first action after any kind of crash is quick copy of Opera session files.

Opera should have some crash detection and should copy last backup into safe place after that - but because such problems are rare, they have not implemented such behavior. Few years ago they created no session backups at all, current situation is improvement from that time for sure.
