      Hi,

      When I open opera I get this runtime error.

      I found this post:
      https://forums.opera.com/topic/18270/visual-c-runtime-library-error

      "If you rename opera_autopdate.exe in Opera installation folder, does error go away?"

      My answer is yes. When I do this it works.

      As this topic is locked I could not continue there. My question is should I just always use the newly named launcher? Or is there some other step that would have come next if the OP replied?

      Regards

        Try if the Offline installer - if not tested yet -, from Opera.com
        "Computer browsers" option, fixes the problem.

          @zalex108 Thanks. I just tried the offline install now and it has not fixed the issue. "opera_autopupdate.exe" still works no problem. however the 'launcher.exe' Gives me the runtime error

              @zalex108 said in Visual C++ runtime library error:

              Chkdsk, sfc/, soft updates

              Can you tell me what's happening when I launch opera with the renamed opera_autoupdate.exe vs normal?

              Would you also be able to tell me what visual c++ library requirements opera has? Or if not, maybe share with me the c++ versions you have installed

                Opera will run but will not autoupdate itself, even the extensions would be affected.
                Going to "About Opera" - checking for updates will give an error.

                I did not even think about to check it as a fix.
