Extension upgrade requires additional permissions...

@AltairAssassins Go to the shortcut properties, in the target field go to the end of the file name. At the end of the .exe add a space and then the rest of the command as seen above. (.exe --show) then close and restart Opera, go to extensions and find it there. You will also see a ton of others that you didn't know where there.

@Keepskite you have to have a space between the .exe and the rest of the command (.exe --show)

In order to stop receiving email notifications for this thread only, I clicked 'stop watching' and ignoring' at the bottom of the thread page but I am still receiving email notifications.
Is there a glitch?

Yes, in order to stop receiving email notifications for this thread, I clicked 'stop watching' (still received emails) and then selected 'ignoring' (but still received emails).
Is there a glitch?

Before I sign out completely and back in, should I select 'not watching' or 'ignoring?'

Hidden extensions, that collect data from the websites you visit and that you can't disable, and you did not give permissions to install in the first place ???
Seriously, is this how it ends for Opera?
This is what I have after running opera with that option --....
Rich Hints Agent
Aliexpress observer
Amazon promotion
Background worker
Bookmarks
Chromium PDF Viewer
CryptoTokenExtension
Google Hangouts
News feed handler
Onboarding popup
Opera Crypto Wallet
Rate Opera
Stormcrow
Video handler...EOT

@duncanm Hi, as several other people have mentioned, the "C:\Program Files\Opera\launcher.exe -show-component-extension-options" doesn't allow us to work it. It keeps saying "The name... specified in the Target box is not valid. Make sure the path and file name are correct"
and then when you load the entire thing into the "run" box it only opens Opera and nothing happens.
so, is this different for others? -

vesper-knight last edited by@xtorbax same. Some clarification would be welcome, especially since the "Source" tab of Rich Hints Agent says "Added by a third-party".

I followed your advice, I deleted the file that had those Items, then rebotted Opera, received that same message, hit the "update" botton and now the pop-up is gone completely. Thanks, the others' advice never worked. Also, my laptop never has shown the Rich Hints Agent at all, so I guess I am lucky, or it just refuses to show anything hidden.

As far as I tested, the problem has now been fixed by the Opera developers.

What extension? What permissions? Sure I'll accept, but how?
This reminds me of the perfidious Windows bug where you might see the error message, "The system cannot find the file specified." What system? Which file? Specified by whom?
This is a bug I tell you, and I call on Opera developers / extension developers to grep through the source looking for that string. Find the code and add a sprintf() statement that would insert the name of the extension, at the very least.
