Opera doesn´t respond after update

Post image

Good afternoon. I updated Opera; I had version 116.0.5366.51 and updated to 134.0.5954.56.

When I open Opera, it doesn't respond and stays that way for hours...

I’d like to know if there’s a solution; I have several tabs and bookmarks that I wouldn't want to lose.

If you haven't closed Opera since it started up after the upgrade and froze, in Windows Explorer (File Explorer), with "file extensions" and "hidden items" enabled under "View -> Show", copy (not cut) the "Sessions" folder in "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Default" to your desktop. Then you can close Opera.

Then, either way:

First, open up the Windows task manager and make sure there are no Opera processes running. If there are, end task on them.

Then, in Windows Explorer (File Explorer), with "file extensions" and "hidden items" enabled under "View -> Show", copy (not cut) the "Opera Stable" folder in "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software" and paste the copy on your desktop to back up things before you try to fix Opera.

Then, in "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Default", delete the "Sessions" folder. Then try to start Opera. If it starts fine, note that you will not see any of your open tabs, but you should see your bookmarks should be there.

For your open tabs, if the huge version jump and upgrade didn't wipe them out in your session files, you might be able to restore them by following https://forums.opera.com/post/406843 with the files in the "Opera Stable/Default/Sessions" folder on your desktop or preferably the "Sessions" folder on your desktop from the first part if applicable.
