Ohhhh, OK. That's new info....
I Do have a sync account on the original Opera install I've been running. As you suggested, the new install has nothing except the included Opera ad-blocker extension.
Thanks for getting back to me again. By Friday I should know if this bare-bones install has the same problem or not.
I'll let you know what happens (fingers crossed) - quicker than my first reply.
@burnout426 - Update from 3/26 - The new "virgin" Opera installation seems to be keeping All of the history!
So, what to do at this point? Add in extensions 1-by-1 and see if any of them break history?
Or do you have another suggestion?
Thank you!
@burnout426 - Well, I'm laughing and scratching my head. When I rebooted my machine today, I only had one shortcut to Opera, instead of the two I had yesterday. Grimacing, I clicked on the one shortcut, and it opened - it was the old profile, with all the extensions I use and Sync is running.
Just to check, I looked at History, and was I shocked! It's all there!! Not only the dates I had used on the new profile, but history going back to February!! So, it seems no history was actually missing at all - it just wouldn't show before.
Sooooo, I don't know what happened, but it looks like Opera fixed itself!
Thanks again for your help - you got the 'ball rolling'!

@burnout426 - I apologize for taking so long to get back to you. I did the standalone installation that you suggested. Great Idea.
Now I'll start using this setup to test and see what happens, or if it works all right.
Yes, I have a password on my Windows User Account. Why do you ask?
I am using 74.0.3911.160 on a Win7Pro PC.
I think this problem has been happening since version 62 but I haven't been able to post until now - I was hoping this problem would go away with an update.
The browser will only keep 1 previous day of history. Older than that is gone.
Yes, I have Iobit ASC Pro but I have had AutoClean and AutoCare turned off for a couple of weeks. No change.
Before that, I removed all Opera cleanup. No luv there either.
To save things for my usage, I have to use a separate tab for each search; leave all tabs used open until I'm finished surfing; and then use Session Buddy to save all of those open tabs.
I saw where this has been a problem since 2018!
Please help
I am using Opera 74.0.3911.160 on a Win7Pro PC.
I am having problems losing history every day, so I thought I would check the synced history. OMG!
There's only 34 history entries! I've been using Opera every day for about a week. I've been shopping for a new mattress, so I have been looking at over a dozen websites.
There was 1 history entry for today.
Then 2 for Feb. 19.
Then we jump to July 22, 2020 which only has 1 entry!!!
Jeebus Jumping Jackhammers - Help please!
