It worked!

Thanks guys!

All my missing tabs have been restored!

@sgunhouse said in Recovering Lost Tabs after Restart?:

Looking at my own, I see to session folders and two tabs folders -

I only have 1 folder for "sessions" and it has 4 files in it... two called "sessions_XXXXXXX" and two called "tabs_xxxxxxxx" .. where the x's are a long sequence of numbers.

Presuming, from everyone's replies, I just copy paste these (into a temp backup folder) and then delete the originals... then copy/paste the larger two, back into the original sessions folder... which based on the timestamp on those files, I think I know which one I want!

Then after all that, restart Opera.

It worked!

There is no function to "edit" my post...

I said:
"After all was said and done, I reopened Opera and offer me a chance to restore my Tabs a now they seem to be gone. I go to History and there is no "Restore last Session" or "Reopen previous Tabs" or whatever."

It was meant to read as:
After all was said and done, I reopened Opera and it did not offer me a chance to restore my Tabs a now they seem to be gone. I go to History and there is no "Restore last Session" or "Reopen previous Tabs" or whatever.

Re: Recover lost tabs

Uhm, help? I've googled for the solution and was directed to the above as the primary response (according to Google) but it does not seem to work! The files that solution directs you to find and copy, do not exist!

Microsoft just did an update to Windows 10, and so I had to close Opera. It said it would save my tabs and reopen them the next time I opened Opera so I went ahead and closed it, then let Windows do its update and restart my computer.

After all was said and done, I reopened Opera and offer me a chance to restore my Tabs a now they seem to be gone. I go to History and there is no "Restore last Session" or "Reopen previous Tabs" or whatever.

I've not yet closed Opera again since re-opening after the windows update and PC restart; though I have opened a few tabs while googling for a solution!

To make things worse, while attempting to follow the instructions in the above linked solution and opening opera://about - Opera then did an unexpected update on itself and downloaded a new version and is prompting me to close and reopen Opera to apply its own update!

How do I get my previous Tabs back?!
