Hi.
Now I'm getting realy p.. of.
To avoid the idiotic ugly grey bar at the buttom of the browser, I installed Opera 27.
When I just opened Opera, it suddenly had installed Opera 29. Why???
I'm have until know used Opera as my main browser, but they have become arrogant and force installation of a version I would not use.How can this be preventet.

Hi.
Thank you for the tip. Could not find opera_autoupdate.exe. Ended up making a new icon with the following path:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\launcher.exe" --disable-updateIt seems to work very well.
Come across this page: http://superuser.com/questions/828009/disable-auto-update-in-opera-25-browser.Thank's again.

I'm curious why the Opera team just didn't put this option in the browser settings instead of making us all jump through hoops to prevent updates

At least they didn't go the Google route and put a background task that runs 24/7 on the machine.

Because they don't want users disabling autoupdate. Like any software house, they want to see people using the latest version.

User likes to decide what they want to use
if they want the automatic update to be well accepted they must put on Opera a button with which is possible to
renounce to the last version installed and go back to the previous version, after the user has seen the new version and
decided if all is fine or not, don't forget that sometime happens also that a new version of a program crashes or didn't
work perfectly on all the PC, and this independently by the agreement that the user can have or not have for the new
features
