                @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
