Hi ! I do NOT have the last setting you mentioned !?
In 'Settings | General', NOTHING relating to a startup 'Profile' appears ! This is a sham... Something pertaining to Profile startup should appear there.
Next, something in the 'Settings | Address bar' shows under 'Profile manager' : The 'Manage profiles' button shows there. Fine. This should be located in the 'Settings | General' section ! NOT there... IMHO
Clicking the said 'Manage profiles' button, a page shows listing who uses Vivaldi and a button at the bottom for 'Guest mode'. I don't see anything relating to startup profile management !
On that page I see only one user although I just created a new profile. It should display two profiles !?
Any explanation ?
Best regards,
iBennyWhat's up doc ?

@stargate
I don't write anything about Settings > General, I write use search for profile and I meant in the search field.
You should have the checkbox Show on startup: -

When I created the new profile, I think I saw what you are showing and closed the tab thereafter so... I don't have it anymore and, in Vivaldi, there is NOWHERE that I can find in what profile I am logged in nor the list of all available profiles.
I closed Vivaldi and my taskbar Vivaldi shortcut don't work anymore. I had to r-clic over it and selected 'Vivaldi' to make it open and still... there is NOWHERE to check in which profile I am logged in.

Add the missingAccount
buttonAnd HOW do we add the missing Account button ? In your link, searching for 'Account' finds nothing...

There,
The above is for That.If you are referring to the Toolbar/Desktop Icon, then better explain it and/or add pics about.
For that,
Since you have messed your profile, you will need to check the Shortcut details.Also,
Fixed address:chrome://chrome-urls
to find out the Profiles Paths and create missing shortcuts.When creating a new profile, there's a checkmark to add a Desktop shortcut.

Read,
It's all there for the Vivaldi Toolbars.
For Desktop, it's wrote above. -

3- And AFTER having created a profile, and closed the related browser window, how do we create the new desktop associated icon ?

It would be SO much easy as with Firefox to just add the "-p" switch after the link app target address to open a profile manager !

That worked before,
--profile-manager
At some point, stopped working.On the chrome URLs, there's the Profile Internals
Find it
The Shortcut has to have the Profile #And follow the MiB's steps

@Zalex108 And in the switch --profile-directory="Profile 1", I guess "Profile 1" is
1- the name of the profile to call !? or
2- we have to stick with that language strictly ?If #1 is the answer and... we don't remember the name of our profiles then... we're f.... stuck; hence the need to call a profile manager that will list our profiles.
And with your suggested approach, I get this :
And adding the 'Account' button in Vivaldi's toolbar and clicking the 'Manage profiles' in it gives this :
I see only one profile there. This leads me to conclude that my previous attempt to create a new profile failed ! Do you concur ?
I did recieve a Vivaldi mail account creation and verification code though ! What gives ?

Search Profile-internals
We have to use that language, it's Chromium's.

Would have been shorter to say : vivaldi://profile-internals only !
So... I found there that I have only one profile, confirming my previous suspitions. Bizarre...
Many thanks Zalex108 four your support !

Now you can discover many more interesting settings.

Indeed !
But still, then, do suggest : vivaldi://vivaldi-urls ! Not chrome://chrome-urls.
And the problem of selecting a profile on startup remains whole : Your â–¡ Show on startup checkbox does not appear at the bottom of the manage profile window though. Maybe it apprears only if we have more than one profile .
