        I have the same issue. Sence updating to opera 72.0.3815.148, Win 2004(19041.572). I have disabled and enabled all extensions, rebooted PC, issue is still there. When I open Opera for the first time it pops up, then I go to extensions and do update all and issue is gone until I close all Opera windows and open new one, then it's back again.

            Test add as start page : opera://extensions/ Restart Opera and hit the update button. Restart Opera again and the drop down message should be gone. The small red dot in the sidebar is still there, but since the sidebar can also be hidden, it's less annoying.

              Suddenly I keep getting a Extension upgrade requires additional permissions warning.
              I can't see what to change to make this go away.
              Please see screen shots.!

                Version: 72.0.3815.148
                Win 7 Home Premium

                There is a pop-up message below my URL address bar stating 'Extension Upgrade Requires Additional Permissions-Go To The Extension Manager To Accept The Upgrade.'

                The message appeared this morning (Thurs) and was definitely not displayed on Wed night.

                What I Did:

                Cleared cookies and cache files Opera
                Rebooted Opera

                Unfortunately, neither option helped.

                1. Is this extension 'necessary' for Opera to function or does it creates more problems than it solves?

                2. I do not recall seeing this message before so does the extension upgrade usually occur automatically?

                The insights are appreciated.

                  Thanks for the workaround! However this fix is not viable if you are launching the browser from the task bar.
                  Going to switch back to chrome if I don't find a way to fix this...

                      Changing the target workaround didn't work. Added --show-component-extension-options but it's still doing it.

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

                        C:\Program Files\Opera\launcher.exe" --show-component-extension-options

                        C:\Program Files\Opera\launcher.exe -show-component-extension-options
                        On a UK keyboard it is Opera\launcher.exe -show-component-extension-options

                        Many thanks, it works great.

                          What is Rich Hints Agent ? Never heard of it and googling doesn't have anything about it.

                            @duncanm Started searching as well.

                            To update the extension "Rich Hints Agent", you must confirm, due to new permissions:

                            • Read and change all your data on the websites you visit

                            The above doesn't really scream "Yes Finally!"

                              @duncanm basically we just found out that we have a lot of crapware addons installed in Opera that we can't disable.

                                  "Additional permissions are required to upgrade the add-on. Go to the add-on manager to accept the upgrade."

                                  I get a message like this, but when I go to the plug-in manager there is no warning. This message goes blank every time I start the opera. What should I do?

                                    Not sure what this Rich Hints Agent is, but let's try to update.

                                      Hello

                                      This morning I started getting this message at the top of the browser window: "The extension upgrade required additional permissions. Go to the extensions manager to accept the upgrade" The message is accompanied with "Go to Extensions" button.

                                      OK, I said, let's do it! Let's go to the manager and accept the upgrade. I clicked the button and, expectedly, it opened the "Extensions" page.

                                      And? What's next?

                                      I don't see any extensions labelled for update/upgrade there. The page looks as usual. Nothing indicates any pending actions waiting for my permission. What am I supposed to do next? Where do I "accept the upgrade"?

                                          @AltairAssassins No such message here on Opera Stable 72, Opera Developer 73 or Opera GX 71. So I will ask again: Where and when you see that message? The text make it looks like something coming from a site.

                                            I don't have Rich HInts Agent showing on my extensions page yet I also have the notification. Also --show-component-extension-options has no effect here.

                                            All this chatter yet it isn't enough to awaken a single mod. Strange.
