@leocg said in how to disable autoupdate of add-ons:

Disable Opera auto update.

As far as I know, it’s not so easy. Тo disable auto-update of extensions, you need to start the Оpera with the key --disable-background-networking.
You can add this key to the Opera launch shortcut.

Thanks jonhd78.
It is true. I tried this:

• delete opera_autoupdate file
• run opera with the parameter launcher.exe --disable-update.
  That didn't help. Only opera-udate didn't work (great!), add-ons were constantly updated.
  I'll try the key --disable-background-networking.
  Thank you

@jirka005 This key should help. I'm sure. I was happy to help.

@archimede Nope, the auto updater executable that you can find in the folder with the last build number.
