Hello guys (and girls),
Even with my Bitdefender firewall turned off something is blocking Opera from checking for updates (i'm on Windows 10 1903 x64, my antivirus is Bitdefender Internet security 2019, Opera 60.0.3255.151).
Any ideas ?

@panion821 Sorry, I can't think of anything else that it may be. You are using Windows 10? I still use Windows 7.
Worst comes to worst--just routinely check Opera's home website once a month for updates.

@panion821 Did you try using the offline installer?

yep . Now I have Opera 60.0.3255.170 but still can't check if an update is available.
"Checking for updates…" and after 10 minutes ... nothing

@panion821 Then check if there isn't anything on your network blocking it.

I've think it has something to do with Nvidia drivers, if i uninstall the driver everithing its ok ... until Windows installs another nvidia driver again

I'm having the same problem. I also use Bitdefender.
It's been doing this for a couple of weeks.
I kept updating manually for the last 5-10 versions, but in every version "Checking for updates…" is stuck.

I think the nvidia driver is causing this, if you uninstall Bitdefender, you will not fix anything
