@dogsrule1616 Same thing happened to me. But I applied burnout's fix and it worked... again!

@dowder46 Sorry, I would have written again sooner, but I had to op
en Opera myself! And then, when it did open, it didn't open with extra tabs! All because I trusted you and ran your program! Burnout for President!

@dowder46 woops - meant to say that I tried changing it to offprogID

@burnout426 Just tried this - no change

@burnout426 I really appreciate your time, but am disappointed to report there is no \ProgID

@burnout426 Fascinating! But I'm no expert and thus am hesitant to delete what you suggest, not knowing what the possible ramifications are... Can you lay to rest my fears, burnout?

@burnout426 Yes

@leocg sorry, but I don't get a "box" to check for a log under startup after running msconfig

@nvmjustagirl nope - Can someone tell me how to do a startup log?

@leocg yes

@davehawley Yikes. Thanks, Dave. I'll try that once I summon the nerve...

Made the change you suggested. Link opened in Opera. Made Chrome the default again. Rebooted computer. Same thing.

@davehawley Interesting question. I hadn't though of that, so I tested it just now, closing and re-opening Opera without rebooting the computer. And the answer is yes, it opens, in that case, correctly. So it only does this weird thing when I reboot the computer.

continue where I left off - and before you say anything, I just tried changing that, for the first time - no effect. I had high hopes, though!

My default browser is Chrome

@nvmjustagirl I always turn everything off before shutting down. Added the step you suggested and checked the task manager. AND Turned off Apps running in the background. AND Turned off Cortana's Pick up wherre I left off. After all that, same result. Opera reopens in whatever way I left it, PLUS three additional speed dials.

@davehawley it opens with the last sites I had open, plus three more speed dial windows open... just as someone else on this thread described it was happening for them... I appreciate all your help and thoughts, but this is too much for a neophyte like myself to handle. I'm going to go with option 2... and just put up with it. Unless you all tell me I'm leaving myself open to mischief...

@davehawley The only Opera related thing that shows up in Autoruns is (\Opera scheduled Autoupdate). I unchecked it and still have the problem. - Thank you for your input, though. I appreciate it.

I've done both those things. And everything else suggested in this entire thread. Cannot find the culprit anywhere. And, since I share the problem with at least one other on this thread, not unique to me...

I've tried everything recommended on this page. Nothing resolves the issue (I have the exact same issue). Has anyone figured this out?
