Re: [Lost all data after autostart with system](not sure how to proceed)

Sigh ... something similar happened on my Win10 system. So for the sake of confirming that others have this problem I'll recite my experience / pain.

--- Version update / upgrade
Was running on Opera One version: 102.0.4880.29 . Apparently, it auto-updated to version: 102.0.4880.33
; modified date on several files (Default.old, StatsSessions, etc) in profile folder (C:\Users%user%\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable) is 2023.09.01 ‌‎00::35 -note, after midnight. I'm not aware that I was using the computer at that time of night.

The update created a new profile folder : C:\Users%user%\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Opera Stable . When computer was powered on in morning (~8am) 2023.09.01 Opera window is running with default appearance - no previous tabs, just a welcome to Opera tab. The new profile folder (…\Opera Stable\Opera Stable) has a lot of files but apparently the update didn't copy the state of configuration from the old profile (…\Opera Stable).

Thanks to @Burnout426 for some suggestions in this thread ; ideas which I am trying to absorb and figure out what to try in order to fix the mess.

This post explains how to disable auto-updates. I implemented that, hoping it prevents further fubar updates.

This post has recommendations on profile files.

Need to figure out if copying certain files in …\Opera Stable to …\Opera Stable\Opera Stable will restore the configuration (workspaces, tabs, history, bookmarks, sessions, extensions, etc).

I did backup …\Opera Stable before a previous upgrade I made from 101.0.4843.43 to 102.0.4880.29 . I wonder if it's easier to reinstall 101.0.4843.43 or 102.0.4880.29 and copy over the …\Opera Stable backup. Or can the …\Opera Stable backup be overwritten onto the current …\Opera Stable\Opera Stable ?
