Your methods don't help. It still checks, and it doesn't say that Opera is up to date, only this:

@Blacha123 So what is blocking it?
If the update check never finishes, your firewall or something on your network would be blocking it.

@leocg Yes, I can, I did everything as the guy above, uninstalled, clearing the entire Opera folder and Windows temp, and I can reinstall it with the data. I will add that none of your methods help, and the fresh Opera, the one for gamers, has the same problem and is installed on a different drive, it's strange, isn't it?

@Blacha123 It seems that the access to the auto update server is being blocked.
Or maybe you have disabled automatic updates by removing or renaming the auto update executable.

@Blacha123 What’s it say when you try to ping the update servers?

@Blacha123 Then you haven't done it - intetionally anyway. Possibly your antiv8rus could have sequestered it though

@sgunhouse antivirus disabled - the problem persists
I would like to add that other browsers work as they should in this regard, but Opera does not want to fully check this update. -

@Blacha123 If a files was sequestered, disabling the antivirus won't restore it - you need to tell the antivirus to do that.

It's probably not an antivirus, I checked everything, I removed Opera from the firewall and nothing

@Blacha123 See where the program directory is listed as in About Opera. Open that folder in File Explorer. There should be a subfolder named Autoupdatr, that folder should include the file opera_autoupdate.exe (though Windows may hide the ".exe" part.)

Something is progressing, though, because now it doesn't freeze while checking, but instead says this:
An error occurred while checking for updates.
