@Blacha123 Then you haven't done it - intetionally anyway. Possibly your antiv8rus could have sequestered it though

I would like to add that other browsers work as they should in this regard, but Opera does not want to fully check this update. -

@Blacha123 See where the program directory is listed as in About Opera. Open that folder in File Explorer. There should be a subfolder named Autoupdatr, that folder should include the file opera_autoupdate.exe (though Windows may hide the ".exe" part.)

- Install Opera

@Blacha123 Then it seems that something outside Opera is preventing it from checking for updates.
