Silent Update Flags/Switches

What are the correct flags/switches to use to force Opera to update silently? I've found that opera_autoupdate.exe is inconsistant. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Random. If I use opera.exe --check-for-update in my script instead, it pops up the browser to run the update, which is disruptive to the end users. I'd rather just push update commands to it remotely and have it update silently. Using Action1 Automations to accomplish this. Can share the full script if needed. Suggestions?

In the Windows Task scheduler, for Opera's autoupdate task, the action looks like this:

C:\Program Files\Opera\autoupdate\opera_autoupdate.exe --scheduledtask --bypasslauncher $(Arg0)

, so maybe --bypasslauncher will work.

For doing that in a command prompt (for the right user), it might be something like:

"C:\Program Files\Opera\autoupdate\opera_autoupdate.exe" --scheduledtask --bypasslauncher

or

"C:\Program Files\Opera\autoupdate\opera_autoupdate.exe" --scheduledtask --bypasslauncher "C:\Program Files\Opera\autoupdate\opera_autoupdate.exe"

, but not sure.
