@burnout426 Did all that, problem still persists. The problem persists on all brand installations of Opera on computers that have never had Opera installed on them and persists on brand new installs of both Windows 10 and Windows 11. With no sign in and no importing of any data from my desktop. All is done with an administrator account on local accounts, not MS accounts. There's no importing of inherently 'bad' or 'corrupt' data.

If it is indeed a so-called corrupt profile, then the issue lies within Opera's own programming because there is no other explanation for a profile to self corrupt on a brand new Windows install without third party AV, power outage/service interruption, with nothing connecting my desktop profile to a fresh new install using the latest available Windows. Or the fault lies with Microsoft.

Just uninstalled. Removed all traces of Opera from my desktop. Reinstalled using the latest offline installer. Signed in, loaded everything up. Quit the browser, relaunched it only to find everything wiped, signed out, and as if I just installed the browser doing a constant loop of the splash screen and resetting all settings I'd just set to make it my own.

What is happening? I can't be the only one who's facing this many issues with the last 2 versions. The same behavior is exhibiting itself on fresh VMs aside from other computers. Even if I don't sign in with any credentials. The browser will reset itself automatically.

Edit 2: Reset the browser just to try this out. Still the same behavior. Where can I find the download version from before June so I can install that and have a browser that actually works and that I can block the upgrade mechanism via GPO Editor in Windows so I don't have to deal with these buggy updates from Opera?

I quite literally used my bookmarks at 5 AM this morning and now they're gone. I just signed in, turned Sync on for the 30th time and now after a few minutes they're back. Until Opera decides I'm not signed in and wipes my user profile again. And again. And again.

Oh, and each time it loses my passwords permanently. I now have to resort to using a browser extension on a competing browser to copy and paste my logins because Opera will remember them until it doesn't. And I can't install said extension on Opera because Opera automatically removes it non-stop as soon as I quit the browser.

nfortunately having many issues with this version as well as the prior version, 111.0.5168.55.
Numerous sync issues. Extensions from either the Chrome Webstore or the Opera Store will install but disappear upon next time the browser is opened. I wouldn't have noticed if it weren't for the fact I installed 3 different long time extensions only to find them missing later on in the day.

Sorry to hear about the issues you've experienced. Could you please provide the ticket numbers for the bug reports with logs and screenshots you mentioned? This will allow us to investigate the details of your complaints more thoroughly.

Where is it in the email? I'm looking at it right now and it gives no ticket ID other than telling me you have received my bug report.

Additionally, I'm facing a very annoying issue of Chrome and Opera addon/extensions not preserving themselves after being installed. They disappear immediately after I exit and restart the browser. This was not the behavior I saw 2-3 weeks ago when I reinstalled Windows 10.

Initially I'd presumed it was a Sync issue but alas it is not. Even on a brand new install on a completely different computer without signing in the issue is still present. Even manually installing the extensions doesn't work. A user in another thread I started stated that they were seeing a similar issue with bookmarks reverting because files are being locked by opera. Totally bizarre behavior.

And now, as I've reinstalled Opera 10x in the last 24 hours, I've come to find the disable switch for the very loud splash screen is missing. It is not even available in opera://flags.

Other issue now is when I disable the standard behavior of tab switching so that it's more like how tab switching works with mouse shortcuts in other browsers it reverts back to the default method of last active tab that Opera has shipped with for many years now. I'm not sure why I need to set me settings every time I restart my browser all of a sudden.

EDIT: In addition, contrary to claims by people on here the splash startup is now happening all the time, regardless of whether there has been a major revision update or not, e.g. 110 to 111.

And now every time I exit the browser, I'm signed out and my bookmarks disappear. As I sign in, they come back. On computers where I have never signed in, the bookmarks disappear and come back every few restarts of the browser. I don't know what's going on with Opera but it's gone downhill in the last few months with the amount of bugs that people seem to be reporting on.

@caribou666 said in Opera installs extensions but they're uninstalled when I exit the browser:

@at2025 try to modify a bookmark or something in the configuration (like theme). I've the same trouble, it look like conf. files are locked.

Don't quite understand what you're asking me to do here. Could you perhaps be a bit more clearer? All of this was working just fine 2 or 3 weeks ago when I last installed some extensions. Very irritating behavior to say the least.

Unfortunately having many issues with this version as well as the prior version, 111.0.5168.55.

Numerous sync issues. Extensions from either the Chrome Webstore or the Opera Store will install but disappear upon next time the browser is opened. I wouldn't have noticed if it weren't for the fact I installed 3 different long time extensions only to find them missing later on in the day.

This is on top of website specific issues that Opera can't load or display properly which I sent bug reports about to Opera 2 weeks ago and I've yet to hear back from them. All around disappointing as an Opera user going back 20 years.

Opera Desktop for Windows: 111.0.5168.61
Windows 10 Professional

I keep installing extension from the Chrome web store and even the Opera store, but they magically disappear the next time I open the browser. I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times, signed out of sync, tried the same on other computers that do not match my desktop. This is a very annoying bug.
