        @panion821 Sorry, I can't think of anything else that it may be. You are using Windows 10? I still use Windows 7.
        Worst comes to worst--just routinely check Opera's home website once a month for updates.

                yep . Now I have Opera 60.0.3255.170 but still can't check if an update is available.
                "Checking for updates…" and after 10 minutes ... nothing 😅

                  @panion821 Then check if there isn't anything on your network blocking it.

                      I have the same issue. No third party firewall.

                        I've think it has something to do with Nvidia drivers, if i uninstall the driver everithing its ok ... until Windows installs another nvidia driver again

                          I'm having the same problem. I also use Bitdefender.
                          It's been doing this for a couple of weeks.
                          I kept updating manually for the last 5-10 versions, but in every version "Checking for updates…" is stuck.

                            I think the nvidia driver is causing this, if you uninstall Bitdefender, you will not fix anything
