While Opera is closed, in Windows Explorer (File Explorer), with "file extensions" and "hidden items" enabled under "View -> Show", in both "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming" and "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local", right-click on the "Opera Software" folder, goto "Properties", click the read only checkbox to clear it (so it's all white) and click apply. Then, switch to the "Security" tab, make sure your username is in the list and make sure it has full control (all permisions set to "Allow" except "Special permissions") and click apply if you have to change anything there. Then, OK out.

Then, make sure the time, date, time zone and daylight saving settings on Windows are correct. In the system clock settings, you can even sync with a time server to make sure the time is super-correct. Make sure your time remains correct through a system shutdown and restart too.

Then, in Opera, 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 "Allow third-party cookies" and make sure the allow list is empty.

Then, goto the URL opera://settings/clearBrowserData. make sure "Clear data on exit" is off, make sure only "Cookies and other site data" and "cached images and files" are checked, set the time range to "All time" under "more", and click "Delete data".

Then, close Opera.

Then, in Windows Explorer, go in "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Default\Network" and delete the "Cookies" file (and the Cookies-journal file if it's not 0KB).

Then, start Opera, log in to some sites, close Opera and open it back up to see if you're still logged in. Also, go back to the URLs opera://settings/content/siteData and opera://settings/cookies to make sure your cookie settings are still where they are supposed to be. If they're not, there could be something else wrong.

Then, you should be good. But, restart Windows and check that you're still logged in.

If you still have the issue and you're using Opera Sync and syncing settings, disable the syncing of settings for a while to test if it helps or disable Sync completely for a while to see if it helps.

You can also goto the URL opera://extensions and disable your extensions one by one to see if one of them is causing it.

If you have any programs on your computer like CCleaner, make sure they're not set to clear any of Opera's data.

If you're using Opera's built-in VPN, that might cause some sites to log you out for security reasons.

Also, before you shut down or restart Windows, always make sure you close Opera yourself first and give it a tad to shut down. Avoid leaving Opera open and then having Windows send a signal to Opera to shut down. Leaving Opera open when you put Windows to sleep though is fine.

Also, don't change your user account password on Windows as that can possibly mess with data in Opera that's encrypted (like passwords and cookies etc.).

If you still have the issue, there are some more things that you can try.
