<![CDATA[Opera 95.0.4635.84's Menu Top Right Corner Has Turned Red]]>When I click the menu button, almost at the bottom there is a red dot opposite to a note "Get The Latest Security Update" - When this is clicked, it opens this Web Page::

https://www.opera.com/download

Which has downloads for all the categories of Opera.

What am I supposed to do regarding these downloads?? Is there a new security update for Opera 95.0.4635.84??

Any help appreciated

@bbildman I've been having the same problem. Does the solution still work? If so how do you do it?

Worked for me. Add --disable-update to the shortcut::

"C:\Opera\launcher.exe" --disable-update

every now and again the red corner pops up again, and all I do is reload it and it disappears

just block it and goes away

127.0.0.1 autoupdate.geo.opera.com

host file

I had done this, back in June, and it has worked just fine...until today on both of my laptops. I copied my Opera Stable profile directory to another location, and went ahead and clicked on the link from the dropdown men, which took me to a page that pointed me to download Opera (which turned out to be 95.0.4635.84), I installed that version (a repeat of what I currently have) and Opera booted up without the red menu top left. We'll see how long this lasts, hopefully this fixed this issue.

As I just read my post (one minute after posting) the red Menu button has recurred.

Any help appreciated to make this go away (again)

opera is stop to support in windows 7 and wnidows 8 and windows 8.1 because they cut off support for security reasons
if you want not seen menu top right corner has turn red
you can block update
in desktop in opera right click and properties in opening screen there is a target text near the target area text
at the end of the target you must add --disable-update
(exe blank --disable-update) and your opera browser not take update and red menu is not seen

i have got same problem and i have mailed opera 4 times they are not dealing with my problem and everytime they are sending me same mail text
they can not dealing with customer problem

This check seems to have not been modified to ignore incompatible updates like the updater has.

If that's the case, maybe Opera can fix the page Opera checks to return false in these cases. If not, I would guess then that Opera would have to make a new 95 build with a fix for that.

And since the newest version of Opera for win 7 is no longer updated. It's a bug that it keep red alert button on the top left corner of browser. Checked and the version is already latest for win7. 95.0.4635.84

If we resorted to blocking IP in hosts file, then it's not the proper way, open should detect the OS and stop red alert about security update. 03fdc877-f2df-43c7-a8b4-3cb28bcc0e0f-image.png

Here ya go:

https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2023/02/opera-95-stable/

https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2023/01/opera-windows-7-8/

I highly recommend updating your OS to Windows 10 then upgrading Opera. Windows 10 is free and currently supported by Microsoft.

The temporary solution offered in this forum (i.e., blocking Opera's updates via host file) is not recommended.

Please share.

Cheers 🙂

Same problem. But autoupdate is disabled. WTF????

Are you talking just about the red menu button and the security update or also that you get a popup that says to close opera? My wife's laptop shows the red button but loads ok. Need someone to give insight and whether there are others having same issue.

I may uninstall O and reinstall to see if it repeats, all the while copying my profile folder to another location to use later.

@bbildman I don't see a new build for Opera 95 on the FTP.

You can try download and run the installer and see if anything changes.

Leo, as an addendum, my wife's laptop also had the red menu button this morning, we restarted Opera, and it went away. However 30 minutes later the red menu button reappeared. Restarting it made it disappear (again). Something is going on, being that now 2 machines here displayed the issue. And of course, my laptop continues to show the "Opera has stopped working - close the program" popup, while Opera continues to load while the message remains and also after I close the message.

When the red button was there, and the red dotted message on the drop down Menu button, when clicked it directed me to this web page::

https://www.opera.com/download

Upon restarting my Win 7 system, the red Menu is now back to it's original gray color with the Opera "O" icon red.

However, when I start Opera, I get a message that says Opera cannot start and that I should close it. However while that message is displayed, Opera indeed is starting. I close the message box, and there is Opera like normal. Now this is getting weird. Of note, the message began this morning before I got rid of the Red Menu button.

Help
