Dear specialists! Opera doesn't open the previous tab when starts, despite settings. Each time it opens quite another page. What has happened? I reinstalled browser, it didn't help. It works, as if I set "Open a specific page".

@leocg I can't access without VPN on Opera forum. It looks, like it's banned in Russia. I have no idea, why.

Is it me or is there a problem with the site?

I updated Opera, the problem repeated itself. I have no choice, but to set "Open a specific page".

So where's the way out of the impasse? I like this browser and no way intend to change it. Is it difficult to add a new feature, something like: "Display the splash screen when starting"?

@burnout426 Disable session manager works. Now previous pages are opened properly. Thank you!

ShoDaN-ShoDaN, thank you! Unbelievable! I deleted the file: opera_gx_splash - and the problem, that tortured me yesterday, disappeared in part! But it seems, Opera still loads slower. Dear developers, correct this bug finally!

85.0.4341.47 But I see, update is going.
85.0.4341.60 after update.

Since there's no the feature "Show splash screen on startup" in settings, they should sdd it. Otherwise it's somebody's evil flaw.

Fantastic!

One more question. Why does Opera contain the old folders from previous versions? The current version is....56, and there're still subfolders...40 and...46. I think they should be automatically deleted after each update, leaving only the last.

@andrew84 No way I can understand, why is it needed to show it at all? It overloads laptop dynamics, beats on the ears, delays opening, frightens cat and so on.... I ask to make the sound quieter, to lower the volume,

Good news! The browser updated to the version... ...46, and...you won't believe! The problem didn't appear itself, no splashscreen and sound! Though the file splash...exe still presents in the installation folder, but I didn't delete it, and...everything's fine!

I don't have any "Startup and Shutdown" in Opera Settings. Where is it located?

It was already said: all suggested methods work...only till the nearest update. Then you have to repeat all over again.

I wrote to Opera support:

Please, write too, anyone, who can.

1. in the search bar (top right) digit intro; it appears Opera One Introduction
   click in the drop down menu ed choose "Disabled".
   I tried, it doesn't work.
2. use this to open browser you will have no splash screen in opera folders in local disk sent to desktop as shortcut works for me
   It also doesn't work. Only the deletion of the file "splash" helps.

I think, I understood, There're two .exe-files: launcher.exe and opera.exe. I should try to create shortcut just "opera.exe". Maybe, it'll work. I must wait for the nearest update to check.

@steve1376 I'll check it in the next update.
