I don't use my bookmarks often - I may go two months without using them, but when I need them I expect them to be there. I have had bookmarks get lost multiple times and I'm not certain why. I think it may happen after opera updates to a new version. Is there a setting I need to change? I am not uninstalling and reinstalling the browser when this happens. Oddly enough, it still has my cached files when this happens.
I like opera quite a bit, but I feel like I need to switch browsers for this one issue alone.

I tried solutions I saw in this post and none resolved the issue. The issue began when I was extending my display to an external monitor. When I disconnected the display, the icon in task bar wouldn't launch Opera. After reboot, Opera behaved properly upon reboot but when I removed display, problem recurs.
What seems to have fixed my issue is connecting to an external monitor again - where Opera would launch successfully still. On the removed the Opera Sidebar, What's App was enabled - I right-clicked and managed messengers. Since removing What's App, I have not seen the issue.
I believe that what's app is trying to pop up when I change the monitor configuration. I don't understand what is preventing it from doing so, but that specific messenger integration seems to be the source of my issue.
Good Luck!
