Logging out of YouTube on Opera GX browser

I have a question about something that happened yesterday. I’ve been using your browser, which is really amazing, but since yesterday it keeps logging me out of YouTube for no reason. For the first time in years, it logs me out whenever I close the window. This only happens with YouTube, everything else works fine. Also, sometimes it shows random errors, and I’m not sure what’s going on. Could you help me with this?

Goto the URL
opera://settings/content/all
, typeyoutube.com
in the search field and click "Delete displayed data". Then, repeat forgoogle.com
. Then, goto the URLopera://settings/clearBrowserData
and clear "Cached images and files for all time.Then, goto the URL
opera://settings/content/siteData
, make sure the default behavior is set to "Allow sites to save data on your device" and make sure all the customized behavior lists are empty.Then, goto the URL ```opera://settings/cookies``, make sure it's set to "Block third-party cookies in Incognito mode" and make sure the allow list is empty.
Then, restart Opera, log in to google.com and youtube.com, close Opera, open it back up and see if you're still logged in or not.
If not, you can go further:
Goto the URL
opera://settings/clearBrowserData
, switch to "advanced", set the time range to "all time", make sure only "Cookies and other site data" is checked and delete the data.Then, goto the URL
opera://about
, take note of the "profile" path and close Opera.Then, in Windows Explorer (File Explorer), with file extensions and hidden items enabled under view -> Show, browser to the "Network" folder in the profile folder and delete the "Cookies" file.
Then, in both "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming" and "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local", right-click on the "Opera Software" folder, goto "Properties", make sure you're on the "General" tab and click the read only check box to clear it (so that it's all white) and click apply. Then, switch to the "Security" tab, make sure your username is in the user list and make sure it has full control (all permissions set to "allow" except "Special permissions"). Then, click apply and OK out.
Then, make sure the time, date, time zone and daylight savings settings in Windows are correct.
Then, you can start Opera, log in, restart Opera and see if you're still logged in.
Besides those things, if you're using Opera Sync and syncing settings, try disabling the syncing of settings, make sure the cookie settings mentioned above are all good and restart Opera.
If you're using a VPN, try things with it disabled.
If could be one of your extensions at the URL
opera://extensions
. You can disable them one by one and test to see if one is the culprit.Also, make sure you don't have any programs like CCleaner clearing Opera's files on you.
You can also goto https://myaccount.google.com/device-activity, log out of all your devices and then log out of the current device and then try logging back in.
