          Lost everything saved as well, even the settings were reset. Beyond frustrating

            Rather than offering a solution, Opera staff just put all the complaints in a single thread to be hidden away. Absolutely appalling

              Every single one of my settings, bookmarks, history, everything, it all reset on the most resent update. What the hell happened? How do I fix this? I have a lot of stuff that I needed, all lost now.

                  Also lost my tabs again from only one workspace, but not after the latest update:

                  Problem: After a download of a PDF I double clicked in the download notification and it should open - but it didn't for me - but it did on the 2nd monitor but on this I'd running my company laptop on HDMI 2 for days.

                  Only in rare cases I switch the 2nd monitor to HDMI 1 - my PC 2nd monitor.

                  Finally the Opera window 2 was open on HDMI 2 which I've never seen. Closed Opera on main window last night. Turned on today. All tabs lost on first workspace - maybe because from that I'd opened the PDF.

                  I noticed this situation ~ 10 days ago when I lost all tabs in another workspace. In this case I've moved a window to the 2nd monitor, closed the window first, then the main window. But next day I'd lost them also.

                  There should be a warning when closing the Opera main window (started first) and another Opera window is open so we can cancel and close the other Opera windows first - also on not active 2nd monitor.

                  However - my little small Opera startup script saved it all 😘 and I was able to restore the previous session with all tabs - more or less.

                  I recommend to use it until Opera has a better solution:

                  Using Opera since version 6.

                    Hello, this morning I woke up and I went to use my computer and I realized that all my coockies history, my history and all webs that I had saved were deleted, I was wondering if this was an Opera Windows problem or if I can get a solution for this to not happen again.

                    If someone can tell me a way to recover my history it would be really helpful, thanks.

                      After restarting my computer, I opened my browser and found that all tabs, all history, all bookmarks and even extensions had been deleted.
                      The system is windows 10 pro. Opera version 102.0.4880.78 , updated 4 days ago. Running the previous version doesn't help, logging into my account doesn't help, I didn't manually create synchronization. But at the same time in the folder Opera Stable in the file "bookmarks" all my bookmarks are available.

                      In general, 10 years ago I favored the Opera browser only because it never lost tabs, and I always have from 200 to 1000 of them open, I can still forgive the loss of tabs, but I used to store really important information in my bookmarks, and the fact that you suddenly forgot to save and back up important user data on your own makes me deeply upset.

                        As of today, all bookmarks and browsing history have disappeared. It looks like I have a completely new, empty profile.

                        What happened? What can I do?

                            This morning when I opened Opera, everything was reset to default - no tabs, no speed dial, no bookmarks, no passwords.

                            Does anyone know if it was all deleted or if it can be restored from somewhere?

                            Thank you

                              I opened Opera last night and all my bookmarks, saved passwords and extensions are all gone. Was there an update that has caused this, and how do I get them back again?

                                @markoze When still on Opera I used Tab Hamster which worked fine. But with all the faults on Opera I´d recommend to consider changing to Vivaldi (only came back to this thread to thank the person which recommended it).

                                  @ledsalesoz Came back to thank you again for bringing up Vivaldi. I´m really happy to have such a rich, working! browser at hand.
                                  A browser is such an important thing for everybody on the net, so it was a hard decision to leave the one I used such a long time. Now that I´ve been working with Vivaldi for months, I think it is even better than Opera ever was. And as for the workspaces: it has them. Only to arrange them the way they are presented on Opera you have to work a little bit. Hope that answers your question. If not, dm. All the best!

                                    Restored it, at least for now.
                                    See the topic How do I get back to the old opera.

                                          I opened Opera this morning to see it wiped everything, including my wallpapers, my passwords, my website autofills, my bookmarked websites. My Opera account still exists but it is completely wiped. I can't recover anything with "recovery and updates".
                                          I need help if anyone can fix this.

                                            Hello,
                                            My Opera has suddenly reset to a basic state. I had sync enabled but I have a question: if I log in now, will all data restore itself or do I have to do something? Won't the zero state send itself to the cloud?
