@turbo-tom64 Totally agree. As I mentioned above, I installed a previous version....Dec 2025 and its back. No difference in browser behavior.

Disconnect from the internet. After installing go to the installation folder and delete anything about updates as well as in the registry.
@emily-coding I installed a version from Dec 2025 and disabled the auto-update in the registry'
@emily-coding Emily, I installed a previous version of Opera (Dec 2025) and all is well. However, I need some way to prevent Opera from automatically updating to the current version. Any ideas?
@emily-coding Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately I am a amateur and have no idea how to do that. My issue is the option to put a search box in the address bar is no longer a option in the settings menu. I am going to see if I can install a previous version of Opera which has it.
Again..thank you.
I sent a request to opera support to return the option to put a search box in the address bar. They replied they where going to look in to it. However, I searched further and found my request/question had been rejected. With no explanation.
On Disney+ the Closed Caption feature does not work. Have to use another browser like Firefox.
I am surprised there is no option to delete browsing history when you close Opera. Seems like it would be simple to integrate.
