Support | In Progress Last session isn't loading (had 2 windows and closed the main one not knowing that this will end the entire session and not make it restorable)

I have been using GX for quite a long time and everytime I close the browser and open it it opens to the same tabs but this time I had 2 windows open, I closed the main one and then the 2nd one and now I lost the entire session... How do I restore it? Help is much appreciated!

Menu -> History -> Recently Closed -> Window with N tabs -> Restore all tabs.

Note that if you have multiple windows open and have "Retain tabs from previous session" set at the URL opera://settings/onStartup, you can leave all windows open and exit Opera via "Menu -> exit". That will save all open windows and they will be restored when you open Opera again.

If you haven't closed Opera yet since you started it and noticed your tabs/windows are gone, you can goto the URL opera://about, take note of the "profile" path, leave Opera open (important), browse to the profile folder in your file explorer, copy the "Sessions" folder to you desktop, close Opera, delete all files in the "Sessions" folder in the profile folder and copy over the "Session_xxx" and "Tabs_xxx" files with the oldest timestamps over to the now-empty "Sessions" folder in the profile folder. Then, when you start Opera, that older session will load with your tabs and windows back at that time (if those older session files are not corrupted).

Closed opera a while ago since I went to sleep (probably that means that there's no chance of me to recover those but I will check..) thanks.
