      I recently disabled autoupdate in Opera Developer. Unfortunately, I've forgotten how to re-enable it. Can someone help?

        @pclaudel1 How did you do that? Did you rename the executable?

          I want to turn off AutoUpdate. Each time Opera updates, I loose all my logins and I have relogin in and get the 2 step authentications all over again. Very frustrating. 😠

              @leocg A month or so back, I followed the instructions that you directed someone else to about four years ago on this page.

              All I recall at this point is that whatever I did didn't seem to take effect at first, but then after some attempts to undo and redo correctly, the process took effect. I no longer see any particular virtue in having autoupdate disabled, and I'd like to re-enable it without having to do a complete reinstall of Developer, with all of the attendant annoyances that a reinstall involves.

                @pclaudel1 To enable auto-update again, you just need to rename the auto updater executable to it's original name.
                You also can download the installer and run it.

                  @leocg Since I don't know the original name (yes, I'm a dunce for not keeping a record of it!), I'll take the installer download option.

                  Thanks for your help.

                    @pclaudel1 It's opera_autoupdate.exe.
