@bbildman About 1st, button & update.

I tried MrMuFa5a suggestion to add "127.0.0.1 autoupdate.geo.opera.com" to the hosts file and will see if it repeats. Will update you here in a day or so.

@bbildman If you scroll down that page, you will see a link for the Opera 95 installer. Download and run it and see if the warning go away.

@vertigont17
if come back try also delete rename opera_autoupdate.exe in ver folder

C:\Users\ YOUR USER \AppData\Local\Programs\Opera\95.0.4635.84

if also (just for good measure) delete opera update on taskschd.msc (win+r)

All,

Here ya go:

I highly recommend updating your OS to Windows 10 then upgrading Opera. Windows 10 is free and currently supported by Microsoft.

The temporary solution offered in this forum (i.e., blocking Opera's updates via host file) is not recommended.

Please share.

Cheers

@leocg The browser updater probably broken and seems to think user must update OS to newer windows version which is none of Opera business to be honest. And since the newest version of Opera for win 7 is no longer updated. It's a bug that it keep red alert button on the top left corner of browser. Checked and the version is already latest for win7. 95.0.4635.84

If we resorted to blocking IP in hosts file, then it's not the proper way, open should detect the OS and stop red alert about security update.

I think Opera has a simple check in the browser itself (separate from the updater) that checks to see if there's a new version available just for notification purposes. This check seems to have not been modified to ignore incompatible updates like the updater has.

If that's the case, maybe Opera can fix the page Opera checks to return false in these cases. If not, I would guess then that Opera would have to make a new 95 build with a fix for that.

dear friends
opera is stop to support in windows 7 and wnidows 8 and windows 8.1 because they cut off support for security reasons
if you want not seen menu top right corner has turn red
you can block update
in desktop in opera right click and properties in opening screen there is a target text near the target area text
at the end of the target you must add --disable-update
(exe blank --disable-update) and your opera browser not take update and red menu is not seen

i have got same problem and i have mailed opera 4 times they are not dealing with my problem and everytime they are sending me same mail text
they can not dealing with customer problem

just block it and goes away

127.0.0.1 autoupdate.geo.opera.com

host file

I had done this, back in June, and it has worked just fine...until today on both of my laptops. I copied my Opera Stable profile directory to another location, and went ahead and clicked on the link from the dropdown men, which took me to a page that pointed me to download Opera (which turned out to be 95.0.4635.84), I installed that version (a repeat of what I currently have) and Opera booted up without the red menu top left. We'll see how long this lasts, hopefully this fixed this issue.

As I just read my post (one minute after posting) the red Menu button has recurred.

Any help appreciated to make this go away (again)

Seems that adding "--disable-update" to the command to open Opera is working and holding.

@bbildman I've been having the same problem. Does the solution still work? If so how do you do it?

Worked for me. Add --disable-update to the shortcut::

"C:\Opera\launcher.exe" --disable-update

every now and again the red corner pops up again, and all I do is reload it and it disappears
