            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'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
