      I've used Opera for years and years. My previous computer died so I got a new motherboard, Windows 11 Pro etc and setup Opera again about 8 months ago. Ever since then I get two windows when I fire up Opera.
      I also use Firefox and had the same problem there too. But, with help from an AI, I unset a few options etc and Firefox came good - only one window.
      Even with help from the AI I cannot get Opera to stop opening the second window. I've tried setting and unsetting virtually every option but, every time I fire up Opera, up pops the second window. I've asked the AI but nothing works....
      Anybody know the secret? I've tried everything so, please, don't suggest the obvious hints.
      Thanks in anticipation

          @louwin It happens no matter how you open Opera?

            @leocg I haven't a clue! AFAIK I downloaded Opera and installed it. When I look in Task Manager it just says Opera Internet Browser.

            AND even worse - this morning it opened (for the first time) with THREE windows....

            1. My usual window
            2. this one (the second window currently with only this forum in it)
            3. one with JUST "Speed Dial" tab.

            I generally switch on about 8AM and off at about midnight.

              @leocg I ONLY ever open both my browsers automatically each morning when I switch on. I also never "kill" them as I always shutdown with them on screen. I do remember "killing" Opera once and I lost all my usual tabs so I haven't done THAT again....
              There's an outstanding update - I'll do THAT and see if I get 3THREE windows again! But I have to wait till my 10 minutes to post THIS response....
