Can anybody tell me how to stop the annoying suggested words popping up when typing. I have tried turning off numerous things, but they are still appearing.

@ronecc Popping up where? You mean in the address bar, or somewhere else?

@sgunhouse Hi. When I type, (like at the moment, a box usually containing three words pops up. I have no idea whether it is Opera, Google or whatever. I have tried Google settings with no luck, so thought it might be Opera.

@ronecc It's a Windows feature, just don't remember how to turn it off now.

@leocg Thanks, I will have a search. Just noticed it is not doing on my phone, so as you say, probably more Windows rubbish.

@ronecc Windows Settings > Date and Language > Typing (Or something like that, my Windows is not in English). Disable the option to show text suggestions when using physical keyboard.

@ronecc To stop suggested words from popping up when typing, go to your device settings and find the keyboard settings. Look for options like "Text Suggestions" or "Predictive Text" and turn them off. This should stop the suggestions from showing up.

@ameeer567 Hello Ameeer567. I had been through numerous options, Opera being one of them and could not stop it happening. It only started after a recent Opera update, hence me suspecting it was an Opera problem. I did eventually find the problem in 'setting', but why it should switch itself on without my intervention.
Anyway, sorted now and thanks for your reply.
