@genegold: I've just discovered that it automatic updated, so I can't escape this horrible version. What to do?

Did you others bug report it? Feel free to use my BR number, BS-70469, under the subject:
"Re: BS-70469 While opening new blank tab Opera instead restarts"

@renatob: Wish I knew. There was a forum topic about it, but the solution was complicated. There is a real need for an auto update off/on setting.

Is there a way to turn off the sound Opera makes on start up?

@burnout426 Thanks. So as I read your post, given the changes over time, the only thing needed now to account for my previously added syntax is renaming the autoupdate file. I do have zoom set for 80% (wish there were 5% options between 80 and 100).

@burnout426 Thanks.

@burnout426 Thanks. I see that there is a delete on close setting.

Thanks. Those don't seem to be it. Each file is different, but examples are not something I'd want to post on a public site. I've got IDM looking into it too. I just wondered if there's a Save As setting, like their used to be as I recall (accessible in Windows settings)

@renatob: Go a system restore. The problem is auto update is apt to occur sometime after. This is a real cluster f***

Probably not. The changelog shows last Chromium update on Sept 26, while this started with the Win 10 and O64 updates on Oct 8.

In preparation for a virtual session with a doctor, I am testing my connection to the Epic/My Chart video system - their test link -- and am finding it not recognizing my Logitech C510 Webcam, microphone or speaker in Opera 114.0.5282.185 (Win 10 Pro). In settings for the website, camera and microphone are "Allow, Sound is Automatic (default) and USB devices is Ask (default). This is with the webcam merely plugged in, its software not opened. With MS Edge, all three are recognized right off. While I've never had a telemedicine session on the Epic system, other meetings and such work fine. What am I missing?

@daria19: The hCaptcha has changed to a pick the one that doesn't match type, but the result is the same. Likewise, it doesn't happen with other browsers.

hCaptcha is having problems with this build of Opera, or maybe Opera generally. Today at https://shop.acousticsciences.com/, a captcha of a type I hadn't seen before kept returning "incorrect" to correct answers. The strange thing is that Edge, FF, Chrome and Vivaldi didn't bring up hCatpcha at all, but went straight from the username/pw to my account page, even though I'd never used those browsers with that site. I also ran into a problem with hCaptcha going through the same process going to my account at paracable.com', Except there it agreed that I had completed the two captchas correctly and sent me a code. However, the code just led back to another two. Getting those correct finally took me into my account order page. I find it hard to believe it was built that way. In any case, I reported it the Acoustic Sciences site and also had an exchange with hCaptcha support. After claiming I was using a VPN -- I wasn't -- they said it would be forwarded to the "relevant team," But now they're saying to use another browser.

Here is a OneDrive link to a sequence of screenshots showing an example of what I went through at the Acoustic Sciences site: https://1drv.ms/f/c/9d4c8f53752802ab/EpIM1d-s3aJPq9CGuRoXnHQBrj4-lagdXQ_hE65rhQt2FA?e=o4BESf

@burnout426 Thanks. I see that there is a delete on close setting.

A programmer fixing a website asked me if I have regular (not session) cookies set to be deleted automatically each time Opera closes. Not that I want to, but in looking for the answer to their question I couldn't find any setting like that, only something requiring user (manual) action. Is there one?

106.0.4998.19 -- https://www.foxsports.com/live/fox-digital#no_universal_links -- In Opera, returns "An error occurred. Please try again later [Error:403]" Works with IE. Turning off ad blocking doesn't solve it. This has gone on for some time. Even had a go around with Fox support about it.

I thought auto update was turned off. I don't want auto update and consider it intrusive and insulting. I want to update Opera when I'm ready to, not have someone else force it upon me unprepared.

@leocg Thanks.

This page is supposed to show regular and sale prices, as it does with other browsers. It's not doing so with Opera, even logged in, because it sees me as outside the U.S. Further evidence of this is that when I open any of the items, there's a "This product is only available through a dealer in your area." The company doesn't use dealers in the U.S., only elsewhere. I've deleted cache, history, etc., i.e., everything but cookies. Is there anywhere to delete cookies for one site only? The result of doing so generally is a PITA.

In moving around SD thumbnails, occasionally I end up with a couple in an unintended folder. Is there a way to extract the separate thumbnails, short of "opening all" and recreating the individual items?
