<![CDATA[Auto-Update]]>How do I turn off auto-update on Opera 32.0? I would have expected something in the "settings" dialogue, but to no avail.

I've used it to prevent Opera from updating on a laptop that's being used in a remote part of the world with (very) slow internet speeds. (Opera was chosen as the default web browser because it has Turbo mode, which speeds up web browsing a lot there.)

What way would you recommend to update Opera when the laptop is in a region with good internet speed? (operaautoupdate.exe, operaautoupdate.licenses and operaautoupdate.version have been renamed)

Can I simply reinstall Opera with the newest version and/or do I have to restore the operaautoupdate files with the original file names?

Thanks.

I mistakenly made the name change to C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\updatechecker\opera_autoupdate.exe, which of course was the Opera 12 updater. Thanks much for pointing me in the right direction.

Rename opera_autoupdate.exe, opera_autoupdate.licenses and opera_autoupdate.version to something else, eg. opera_autoupdate.exe.BKP etc...

I did set it to 1; but I also like szubirubi's idea of renaming "opera_autoupdate.exe" (if Oprah doesn't mind 😉 ). I just installed Opera 32, upgrading from v. 12.16, and I want to get used to it before any updates.

I know how to set a variable, but what would be the value used? 1?

I guess they were created every time due a failed update check attemp. So if you block the update, there can be load of those files in your Opera profile folder. I'm not sure if those are ever auto-cleared by Opera.

Does this mean, that Opera by itself does NOT provide a way to disable auto-updates, and the only way is to block this from the outside???? Don't tell me that this is true!!!

Yep, there is no setting to disable autoupdate and i don't thinl there will be one in a near future.

As i said somewhere else, i think this will be the default behavior for most softwares sooner or later. Even Windows is doing it depending on your version of Windows 10.

The only Firewall we have, is our corporate Firewall, and the Firewall certainly doesn't even know, that I have Opera installed.
