@burnout426 said in Downloading Updates???:
Delete everything in "C:\Windows\temp" and "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\temp" while Opera 95 is closed. Then, start it and check for updates. Does the download progress bar for the Opera 96 update that gets ignored jump to 100% really fast where the update is not really downloaded (check the temp folders to see)? Or, does the 96 installer really get downloaded?
I imagine that if the last build of 95 wasn't fixed to actually not download the update, Opera 95 might do that repeatedly where there'd be no fix unless a new 95 build was released just to fix it. But, that's just a guess. I would imagine that both Opera 95 (and previous versions) and the update server already have capabilities to totally ignore an update (including its download), but not sure. I guess we'll find out.
I would disable updates to break update checking anyway just for good measure.
Did what you said, Burnie (my name is Bernie, so I get to call you that. ), both on Update and Recover...and Help/About. Both returned a "Version:95.0.4635.46
Opera is up to date" response, so that takes care of that.
It's all good. I'm going to continue with Opera 95.0.4635.46, and with Windows 7 (which I have been able continue to update with a work around and using the Microsoft Update Catalog). When and if thinngs get sticky, I will either start using a browser that works with Win 7 or update to Win 10.
Thanks for all the help, from you and Leo
