I solved the problem. The update created a second username on my name (peter). In the old "user peter" I went to appdata, , roaming, operasoftware, opera Stable and copied the files bookmarks, bookmarks.bak and bookmarksExtras en pasted it in the same place in my "new" user "peter-pc" . By re-starting Opera I had all my settings (bookmarks) back.

Well actually I still had one account named Peter. But in that account I had lost my mail history and in Opera my bookmarks. Under Users I saw that there where 2 users, Peter (my old account) and Peter.Peter-pc (the new user).
All the files in Peter had the old settings, the new user peter.peter-pc had all the new (stripped) settings. So I copied some files from old to new and it all worked again. Files in the new user are updated now where the old files in "Peter" stay as they were. So in time I think I can delete that user.
Ik now make regular back-ups, just in case.
Oh , and no, I was not asked if I wanted to create a new user account.
