<![CDATA[Browser notifications with autoupdate Opera]]>Hello everyone,

I’m trying to achieve the following on Windows with Opera:

  • Automatic Opera updates must work (no “Your Opera installation appears incomplete, please update manually”).
  • Notifications should behave like browser notifications (the kind I get when installing with Opera_133.0.5932.60_Autoupdate.exe).
  • I do not want Windows/system desktop notifications (the kind I get when doing a clean install with Opera_133.0.5932.60_Setup.exe).
  • If I install via *_setup.exe, auto-updates work, but notifications are system-wide.
  • If I install via *_autoupdate.exe, the notifications look correct, but automatic updates fail because the installation appears incomplete.

What I already observed

  1. Opera_133.0.5932.60_Setup.exe
    • Clean install works
    • Auto-update works
    • System/desktop notifications appear (Windows-level toasts)
  2. Opera_133.0.5932.60_Autoupdate.exe
    • Notifications appear exactly as desired (browser-style)
    • Auto-update fails with:
      “Your Opera installation appears incomplete, please update manually”
  3. Manual update using *_setup.exe
    • Auto-updates start working
    • But then notifications become system-level again

How can I repair/complete the auto-update installation (so Opera updates automatically), while keeping the notification behavior that currently only works with the autoupdate installer?

It would be great if both features could work together without requiring a workaround.
