@trippin42 You don't literally put
"path to Opera's launcher.exe", you put:"C:\Program Files\Opera\launcher.exe" --show-component-extension-optionsor
"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-optionsor:
"%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Opera\launcher.exe" --show-component-extension-optionsAgain, if you goto the URL
opera://aboutand 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 -

@burnout426 said in Extension upgrade requires additional permissions...:
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

i started thinking maybe the quotation marks arent supposed to be there, I did it again, this time without the quotation marks ( i do Exactly what it says ) and it opened a new Opera window Without that annoying message tada you did it you learned me something ......ie quotation marks mean a variable is inside and dont copy them in the command \

@trippin42 The command line will not make the message go away but will allow you to see the hidden extensions and check if one of them is triggering the message.

Install: C:\Users\attil\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera
Profile: C:\Users\attil\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable
Cache: C:\Users\attil\AppData\Local\Opera Software\Opera Stable
this is what i see at Opera://about
So i typed in C:\Users\attil\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera\Launcher.exe --show-component-extension-options and hit enter it opens a Opera window (cause it was closed) but there is NO info in the cmd box

@trippin42 There won't be. After open Opera using the command line, go to the extensions manager page and see if one of them is asking for an update.

@Keepskite Hidden Extensions, Addons ! o_O
I found you cause i realized the unknown addon "Rich Hints Agent" in the Opera Browser Task-Manager.The hidden Opera Addon "Rich Hints Agent" vanished as i disabled the addon Copyfish.
In the Opera Task Manager (Shift+Esc) the Addon "Rich Hints Agent" seemed to be coupled with the addon
Copyfish
Free OCR Software.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/copyfish--free-ocr-soft/eenjdnjldapjajjofmldgmkjaienebbjClue: You have to look clearly at your Opera Task Manager which addons have some "hidden riders"!
Perhaps now i can explain why there were suspicious URL calls which i watched in the logger of the best Addon "uBlock Origin" (uBO), where I couldnt detect the source of them.
I blocked them in uBO by these rules:
||api.yaunel.com^
||videout.ru^
www.yaunel.com: "Data & Advertising Solutions. Successful Retargeting with Yaunel."I will watch the Opera Task Manager and uBO logger for further fishy activities.
I seems uBO can not detect addon activities

Hi! This is strange because the developers have fixed this problem long ago. There are some concrete examples in this thread for launching a browser with the--show-component-extension-optionsswitch. -

@nickyt
To go to the extension, button on the right of message "go to the extension". So you click it and the extension needing permission do opens in extension handler. You will then find the permission request in the extension box, trigger it and done.
About disabling, I suppose disabling but not uninstalling would not solve the permission needed message. -

@nickyt Button on the right of message, "go to the extension". Simple.

@mateuszr42 No is not like that. When clicking on "go to extension", in the extension box there is some specific slider, with that is very simple to accept the new permission for the extension.
You don't need developer mode, this is for other stuff, and the download you've done could not be appropriate for you.
That switch, I've used it thousand of times, even there are extension that tends to ask permission repeatedly. Now I don't remember the exact text of the switch, but it is very simple, /if you read it/ with some slowdown and calm ^_^ don't be in a hurry and try to slowly read every line by every switch. You will surely see it.
