<![CDATA[User Account Control Message appears each time I open Opera browser]]>This started today. Each time I open the Opera browser on my Windows 7 computer, a message appears from "User Account Control", asking, "Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer?" The program indicated by user account control is Opera web browser. Answering "yes" or "no" results in the same -- Opera opens and functions normally. I've tried restarting my computer, but that had no effect. The message continues to appear.

So I can find that developer build in Desktop Team Blog. I see! Mmmmm. A developer build can have several and/or serious issues. Thanks for the warning and for explaining where to find it. I'm just not that adventurous! Thanks to your explanations, I feel that the UAC bug is something I can live with for awhile. You've put my mind at ease. 🙂

I did notice a change in colors on the speed dial page yesterday, so I assumed that the introduction of the UAC bug

They are not related.

Opera 48 developer build; I'm not sure how to find this.

You can find it in Desktop Team Blog. Be in mind that a developer build can have several and/or serious issues.

Not being rude taking so long to reply, just sleeping. Thanks for your commitment to this forum.

Which version I'm using? Version 47.0.2631.39 (PGO), the same as solplassen. I did notice a change in colors on the speed dial page yesterday, so I assumed that the introduction of the UAC bug I originally pointed out happened with an update taken yesterday; I'd be more specific, but I see no indication of the date of the most recent update on the "About" page of the Opera browser.

Opera 48 developer build; I'm not sure how to find this. Usually I install whatever opera.com is currently offering, while enjoying the automatic updates.

I feel certain that this little bug will be sorted out in short order. Thank you for the discussion.

Opera 48 developer build?
I'm using this version:
Version : 47.0.2631.39 (PGO) - Opera is up to date
Update stream: Stable
System : Windows 7 64-bit (WoW64)

That's why you don't see the fix, it's not on Opera 47 yet.

If the bug was the appearance of a UAC popup every time Opera is launched, then perhaps the bug wasn't fixed after all, as today is the first day I've ever seen it

And you are using last Opera 48 developer build?

Hopefully the browser team gets word of this; it's a deal breaker for me.
