@leocg Neither had I when running OS version 1909.

@burnout426 As I initial said - this is a SSD problem. Using trad HDD no problems.

Tests so far:

In documents from Microsoft the values for Disable/Enable are as shown in pic 1
Test value 0 : User Managed is set to Disable; see pic 2
Test value 2 : User Managed is set to Disable; see pic 3

It may seem that MS has switched the values for Disable/Enable options.
Access to LoginIDs via Password Manager so far is only through Value 0, but not permanent. It happens that LoginID-file just disappears during the Opera session.

At present MS forces enabling date stamp and ignores all SSD OS-installations.

@burnout426
Did find an error in the parameters.
User Managed parameteres should be -
0 : disable
1 : enable
I'm in the start testing it using Option 1.
Can't tell more, but somehow I have access to my LoginID file, but I don't know the durability.
it's a strange problem as Microsoft force Enable to to parameter.

Have observed one severe difference between OS Win10 1909 and 2004 - in 2004 File Date Stamping is set to ON by default. So far one has to make a surgical cut to fix the option.
To whom that use SSD for start-up, FDS should be OFF otherwise Opera/Password Manager will more or less miss references to LoginID db.

Or does Opera clear "Passwords and other sign-in data" by mistake ??

Re: Login-IDs File/DB or what
OS : Windows 10 Pro 64bit - Version : 2004 Build : 19041.610
Opera x64 - 72.0.3815.186

Days after upgrade Win10 to 2004 were a stabb in the back for Opera. Content in UserID/Password file was gone.
What I do know all versions behave perfect of Opera with Win10 version 1909.
My def. of Session ie exiting and restart. File means UserID/Password file. Login-ID ie User-ID and Password.
Tests
Cleaning Opera from PC, basic reinstall
Start Session 0 with empty File. Fetched a few new Login-IDs to Save. The File shows the fetched Login-IDs.
Start Session 1 File includes only the last fetched Login-ID. Fetched a few more Login-IDs to Save. Login-IDs showed up OK.
Exiting Opera, had a break.
New Session - The File showed casual a complete listing af former fetched Login-IDs (ab. 150 records from 1909 version). I have no explanation to it.
New Session - The File was empty.

It's obvious that this situation is a Microsoft problem, no blames to Opera.
When cleaning Opera traces how do old versions of Login-file survive ??
I will believe many users experience the same problem.
Are there any fix to update Win10 ??

@burnout426
The peculiar is that NPAPI worked perfect up to Opera_x64 67.0.3575.137.
Anyway flash is working - case closed.
Thanks for advices.

@leocg
Flash is always uninstalled before new version is installed.

ps
Flash working though I don't know how you got a 64-bit PPAPI version

None of the selections give me 64-bit version except for Linux.

Thanks for clearing up some info. Have tested flash on an identical PC [#2] (same OS, same flash (NPAPI), same Opera x64). NPAPI installed on 1903 and followed the update. Flash works ok.
Though I see that OS 1909 has more restrict regime viewing flash than 1903.
When selecting PPAPI I only got x32 version. My fault was probably I shouldn't have selected versions before download.
Will follow your setup and see what happen.

Thanks for advice.
Will male a clean install to see if flash still is absent before reporting as a general bug.

@leocg Doesn't work on Operat 64 bits - have tried it.

Updating to Win 10 Pro 1909, Opera above - Adobe Flashplayer 32.0.0.363 NPAPI (Firefox) does not work anymore.
Invoking https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/about/ seems that Flashplayer is absent.
Opera works perfect, so does Win 10. Any answer appreciated.

@burnout426
Tks - This alert pops up occationaly. No big deal but my curiosity made me ask.
Think the source were some old albums. About to regenerate new versions and it seems that the flag is gone.
Will store your options for later alerts if happen.
Thanks again.

Opera Version: 66.0.3515.44 64bit

In forehand thanks.

Hi burnout
I hear what you say. Sorry to say -
However I did experienced that ref. version probably didn't update properly. After 50 years (I don't fool you) in IT sphere there is one thing I hate most of all; not having control of any kind of updates. (My fault not to stop auto update as I noticed that autoupdate...exe was removed from the installer folder). It's now set a stop in the Settings.

The last automatic update did not show up any pdf sections in the Settings, killed my password bank, neutralized automatic storing of new password, neutralized automatic fill in name, addr, etc.
When installing PDF viewer I was asked what local viewer I used. Typed that. When going into the Settings again, then I found the PDF option. I have one and only one addon. There were no Q's ab double installation !!
Rollbacking the last recovery; I restored all former misery except of one thing - PDF addon was gone. Then I had to reinstall the addon once again and to my surprise ir works perfect, no download window.
What actually happened, only heaven knows. What I do know after taking control my system works as I expected.
(except for one thing JW Player is only working if I play the video in a new tag, never directly from the source tag.
(ref DB.no)
-E

Thanks so far.
Ref version.
After auto update Opera didn't show any traces of PDF in setup. That's why I had to install new pdf addon.
Secondly the update killed Opera password bank.
Luckily I had a week old recovery to fix that.
It seems that the short frequency of new versions of Opera may cause a lack of quality control ??
I've used Opera for 20+ years, and I think I know the app.

Ref Opera Version: 65.0.3467.42
Having installed the above addon, configured and trimmed in Opera Settings. PDF docs are showing perfect, no complaint so far.
However when importing a pdf doc from web Opera also show the down load window.
Despite of not having activated the trigger in "Privacy and security>PDF-Document" the download window still pops up.
Have tested both options, the download window is still there. Is this we call a bug ??
-E

Tks for reply.
Have 3 other mutant PCs not making any fuzz. Or I may did the right thing after each update ??
I dare to believe if db front page is the first site accessed after an Opera update and you click on a video link, the link does not load ALL parameters for JW (see above error). When going into dbtv and click on a video link, these links load the complete settings that is recognized by Opera for later use. I think db some way is the owner of the problem.
Anyway JW is running.
