      Dear specialists! Opera doesn't open the previous tab when starts, despite settings. Each time it opens quite another page. What has happened? I reinstalled browser, it didn't help. It works, as if I set "Open a specific page". {3BEEBA1C-8A28-4D1D-8582-43DD402CFA7D}.png.jpg

        @proshor Try going to Opera's profile directory and remove the content of the Sessions folder.

          But what for? I reinstalled the program with user data deletion. The problem repeated. It starts always with www.google.ru

            this has not been working corectly for a couple of updates now. Deleting Sessions folder makes it work once and then keeps showing that same tab on every new opening.

              @proshor Check Opera's shortcut. Also check settings > on startup.

                I updated Opera, the problem repeated itself. I have no choice, but to set "Open a specific page".

                  @proshor While Opera is closed, go into Opera's install folder and double-left-click on its launcher.exe. Does it reopen all your tabs that way?

                    I tried, as you wrote, everything is all the same, previous pages don't open properly when it restarts. Another page opens.

                      @proshor Try in a test standalone installation.

                            Are you using some kind of third-party antivirus or security site? From problem description, Opera has trouble either reading or writing Sessions folder inside its profile directory - this may be affected by antivirus.

                              No, I don't use any antivirus, except built-in Windows Defender.

                                @timhoj Download Opera Portable at https://www.opera.com/computer/portable and install it without changing anything. Check if the problem happens on that installation too.

                                  It happens on portable too.
                                  It does show the latest tabs (the normal opera install, not just portable) if I before exiting close the previously lastest tabs.
                                  What i mean is:
                                  Lets say I install opera, open ebay.com, surf on that one tab and exit opera.
                                  I start opera again - tab is ebay.com , I surf on that tab to facebook.com and exit opera.
                                  I start opera again - tab is still ebay.com, not facebook.com .
                                  But if in addition to ebay.com tab I open another tab and surf to facebook.com, close the ebay.com tab , when I reopen it will show the facebook.com tab.

                                    @timhoj That's almost the expected behavior. The only problem is when you change the page on the tab but it still opens with the old page.

                                      yes, opening the old page is the only problem.
                                      The other stuff I wrote is just me explaining what to do so it doesnt open the old page -> close the tab that the old page was on before exiting, meaning you shouldn't even surf on that tab because if you leave it open it will always show that page it opened with and not the page you left it at before exiting.

                                        I even reinstalled Windows - the problem still appears. I did my best, it doesn't depends on me. Please, fix!

                                          it doesn't depend. I can't edit the post.

                                            @timhoj Weird. Definitely sounds like something outside Opera is interfering.
