@burnout426 Glad to see they're at least aware and working on a fix. Not surprising to learn that it's an issue with Windows though, after all many of the recent updates have caused all sorts of issues with other programs and applications. Like my Bluetooth on my PC basically doesn't even work anymore due to some of the recent updates - luckily I still got cords so just plugging in my peripherals again.

I'll take a look at the reddit posts later tonight, thank you for the references and information though.

Re: Windows 24H2 GX Profiles Not Working

It has been 3 months and this issue still hasn't been fixed, a lot of people use OperaGX because it makes having multiple sets of accounts for different purposes easy. I.e. One for work, another for gaming, perhaps one for streaming/content creation, etc.

Whenever I try to make a new profile it doesn't create an icon, I uninstalled and reinstalled Opera GX multiple times now, even using Revo Uninstaller to make sure it was a full clean uninstall and yet the problem persists. I have tried using the restore icons feature, went through my notification settings and made sure everything was enabled. Restarted my PC and the program but nothing seems to allow me to access the other profiles.

If there was at least a way to change or open a profile in-app then this would go from crippling to someone with multiple sets of accounts to just a minor annoyance but seeing as there's no way to switch opera profiles in-app I'm basically being forced to revert to Chrome or search for another browser that allows for multiple profiles.

I very much enjoy Opera GX and would love to continue using it but until this issue is resolved the browser is essentially unusable for someone managing multiple accounts.

I really hope this gets resolved in an update soon, but in the meantime I'm going to stop using Opera until this fatal flaw is repaired.

(I have attempted other work arounds, even creating custom shortcuts and adding the correct pathing and commands to open a side-profile but none of it has worked.)

My operating system is currently Windows 11 Pro, Version 24H2 and I do not have any special alterations or modifications that might interfere with Opera. This is a normal PC setup for general usage.
