@giovanni64 I guess such problems can happen when you are updating from a very old version.
Download Opera Portable and install it, or set portable installation in the regular installer.

I would imagine you can delete everything in the Opera portable folder except the "profile" folder, launch the installer for the newest version of Opera, click "options", set "install path" to the Opera portable folder, set "install for" to "standalone installation", adjust any other options you want, and install.
Make a copy of the "profile" folder first though just in case there's something incompatible with its Preferences file etc. that can't be upgraded properly where it hoses the profile files.

@leocg Hi there,
thanks for your reply. However, I downloaded Opera portable several times and tried to install it but every time the same thing... I could not install it.
I hope you are not angry with me but now I try the recommendation from burnout426 and see what happens. I will let you know of the results.

Hi and thank you very much for your reply.
Would it be possible to let me know what the latest portable version of Opera is out there and maybe have a safe link for me to download it, please. -

@giovanni64 You can check the link on the bottom of this page or you can go directly to https://www.opera.com/computer/portable
You can also download the regular installer, click on options and choose to have a standalone/USB installation.

@leocg Thanks for your quick reply but please explain me what exactly you mean by:
"You can also download the regular installer, click on options and choose to have a standalone/USB installation."
What you mean by ... regular installer?

OK, what I did know is that I deleted all except the profile folder, in the Opera folder in c:/ and I started the downloaded version from another site with over 88 MB to my previous opera folder in C:/
After the installation I started Opera but the window opened with
Opera Internet Browser has stopped working
Windows can check online for a solution to the problem the next time you go online.Check online for a solution later and close the program
Close the programWhat can I do now? Is there something in the Registry to delete and what or something else?
The portable version I downloaded is OperaPortable_83.0.4254.62.paf.exe

I've downloaded the file Opera_84.0.4316.14_Setup.exe and started it but without success.
The same window opened up again and nothing happened.
What else shall I do? How can I delete it completely? -

@giovanni64 What other site would be that? Opera should be downloaded from its official site only.

Do a test first.
Download https://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/desktop/84.0.4316.14/win/Opera_84.0.4316.14_Setup_x64.exe, launch it, click "options", set "install path" to a folder named "Opera Test" on your desktop ("C:\Users\your_username_goes_here\Desktop\Opera Test" for example), set "install for" to "standalone installation", uncheck "import data from default browser", and install. You can then launch that Opera by double-left-clicking the launcher.exe in the "Opera Test" folder.
Does that Opera start up and run?

Is this a joke?
I don't have the 64 bit Windows System, I have 32 bit and that file I downloaded is from the official Opera website. However, nothing is working after I created the Opera Test folder on Desktop.
What you know about IObit Uninstaller 11 PRO? Does it do the trick to completely delete it? -

@giovanni64 You didn't say anything about your system be 32 bits and most people nowadays have 64 bits systems.

@giovanni64 So Opera doesn't open? Or it opens but you can't access pages? What nothing works means on that case?

@giovanni64 said in Opera portable 74.0.3911.203 not updatable:

It's always assumed you're using a 64-bit version of Windows unless you explicitly state otherwise.
No problem, https://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/desktop/84.0.4316.14/win/Opera_84.0.4316.14_Setup.exe is the 32-bit one.
I downloaded is from the official Opera website. However, nothing is working after I created the Opera Test folder on Desktop.
Are there files in the "Opera Test" folder like launcher.exe etc.? Or, did the installer not get that far? I'd try again with the installer for the 32-bit version of Opera I linked to just for good measure. You can install it to "Opera Test 2" on your desktop if you want.
Also, if you're using your Microsoft account to sign into Windows and you're part of a Microsoft Family, see https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/wiki/opera/known_issues#wiki_opera_closes_right_away. You can also temporarily create a new user account on Windows (local account only), log into it, and see if Opera loads there.
What you know about IObit Uninstaller 11 PRO?
Nothing.
Does it do the trick to completely delete it?
Deleting a portable install of Opera involves just deleting its install folder. There's nothing else to it. Of course, if you want to save your data, you copy the "profile" folder in it to somewhere else first. Also, any existing Opera will not interfere with the test standalone installation/portable installs you make.

I have that file: Opera_84.0.4316.14_Setup.exe which I've downloaded to my
Drive
I've created a directory on my desktop with the name Opera Test then double clicked on it but nothing happened.
Now I will do the SFC scan and let you know what happened! -

Sorry, nothing came up with the option of selecting a directory and no error was coming up.
