Chromium PDF Viewer

While Opera is closed, open up a command prompt and type:
"path to Opera's launcher.exe" --show-component-extension-options
and press enter.
To find the the path that launcher.exe is in, in Opera, goto the URL
opera://about
and look at the "install" path.Then, when Opera starts, goto the URL
opera://extensions
and click the notification next to the extension that wants you to confirm the update of the extension. -

I did exactly what you said i closed Opera then pulled up command prompt i typed exactly what you wrote ..."path to Opera's launcher.exe "--show-component-extension-options
and it said ' "path to Opera's launcher.exe" ' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. -

@trippin42 You don't literally put
"path to Opera's launcher.exe"
, you put:"C:\Program Files\Opera\launcher.exe" --show-component-extension-options
or
"C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera\launch.exe" --show-component-extension-options
(Where you replace "yourusername" with your actual username on Windows.)
Or, you can try:
"%ProgramFiles%\Opera\launcher.exe" --show-component-extension-options
or:
"%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Opera\launcher.exe" --show-component-extension-options
Again, if you goto the URL
opera://about
and it says the install path isC:\Users\Bob\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera
, then you'd use:"C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera\launcher.exe" --show-component-extension-options

opera://about
ok i want understand this ... (for dummies like me Lol) working with command prompt is tricky it has to be exact, at least i think it does. so when it says ."path to Opera's launcher.exe " ( i was thinking it usually doesnt have spaces between words like that and the " " were also significant) .ok this is what i put in .EXACTLY "C:\Users\attil\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera\Launcher.exe" --show component-extension-options
it opened up Opera in a new window (the message is still there
Cache: C:\Users\attil\AppData\Local\Opera Software\Opera Stable
