Add the missingAccount

there is NOWHERE to check in which profile I am logged in.
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 □ 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 .
-
chrome:// and vivaldi:// aren't the same
Create a new profile from Address Bar
Restart
Then go to settings/profiles -
For now, I'll stay as is. This issue consumed most of my day and I have other things to do. Especially that this whole ordeal fixed an issue I started in another thread so... no more modifications for today...
Many thanks Zalex108

Ok
I just did and save a Template for Profiles and its shortcuts.
Then you just need to replace the Name%VivD%\Application\vivaldi.exe --user-data-dir="%VivD%\Profiles\Lx_W11" --enable-low-end-device-mode --process-per-site --force-dark-mode --enable-features=OverlayScrollbar
%VivD%\Application\vivaldi.exe --user-data-dir="%VivD%\Profiles\Entertainment_W11" --enable-low-end-device-mode --process-per-site --force-dark-mode --enable-features=OverlayScrollbar --disable-features=UseEcoQoSForBackgroundProcess
