@burnout426 Thank you for the reply. I will try those suggested methods. Actually, I do not have an admin account on my company laptop. So, the options to disable updates are very limited. Last time, I had to install Opera through Chocolatey. I wonder why opera has to torture users so hard like that

I've attempted various methods, including disabling updates through shortcuts and passing parameters in the installer, but none seem to work. After a few days, Opera automatically updates to a very unappealing user interface. Why isn't something as straightforward as "disable autoupdate" available?

This is incredibly frustrating. The UI after the update is terrible—so unattractive and distracting. I simply want a clean and efficient UI. Please consider adding an option to disable updates or providing the choice to revert to the old, effective UI.

If these options are not feasible, should I consider abandoning Opera altogether? It's disheartening to encounter these issues. Could you please avoid adding more problems for the users?
