[BUG] Opera won't check for updates - invalid params and unable to prepare update checker runtime

@zalex108 Well, isn't that a neat little tool. Thanks for the suggestion. However, it doesn't show any errors - HTTP 200 across the board, including http://autoupdate.geo.opera.com:443 (which, I assume, is the auto-updater pinging) and http://extension-updates.opera.com:443. What's confusing is that these use http as the scheme but go over port 443 (secure). I'm sure there's a reason but that's the only noticeable oddity. Other thoughts?

Try pinging them.
If they showed as non blocked should respond then is quite extrange.

@no-name-opera Is your connection set as limited by chance?

@leocg I'm sorry but I don't understand the question. I'm not aware of any setting in Opera to limit the connection (and I just did a search to check). And I've tried the update with VPN both on and off. If you're referring to Windows overall, no, I don't have any limits set (as far as I know) and have more than ample connection speed. Can you be more specific please?

Do you have a custom Hosts file or DNS?
Try disabling the Hosts file and with Google DNS 8.8.8.8 or Open 1.1.1.1.

@zalex108 I had a custom Hosts file to block much of Microsoft's crap tracking but just got rid of it and also tried Google DNS. Same problem.

@leocg Thanks for the clarification - no, I don't have any limits set on Windows. Is there some specific setting you suspect? I'll be happy to check it.

@leocg That's what I thought you might be referring to. No, nothing's set that would limit.

@nvmjustagirl I've done a complete uninstall (using Windows Program and Features Uninstaller) and reinstall (on the same machine) and have the same problem, which is why I thought it might be related to a bug.
