Disabling Updates Question

You need to disable the autoupdate tasks in the Task Scheduler too if present.

Then, for extra good measure, you need to block Opera's autoupdate servers.

Also, some programs like Kaspersky can update Opera for you automatically. If you have a program like that, make sure its program updating is disabled.

If you get Opera via some package manager like Chocolatey etc., you'll want to make sure it doesn't update Opera on you.

@bbildman Under the "Sync Data" section on the opera://settings/syncSetup page, there's just the option for "Bookmarks", which includes speed dials (as they're bookmarks too). There's no option to sync only speed dials.

@leocg In the past we complained that the private window color was not to our liking...but at least we knew when we were in a private window. Now that they have heeded our complaints, what we have is an ultra SMALL "Private" notation just to the left of the address bar. Heh! Hardly enough to tell us the window is Private without having to search for it.

What are the SSDFP files?

Not really sure. I don't think I see any in my profile folders. Looking it up, I guess it stands for site-specific digital fingerprinting data, but couldn't really find more info than that.

Because we can find a LOT of those in both Opera Stable and Default folders. Just askin'

@bbildman If you still have the 114.0.5282.115 folder under the installation directory, you can try something:

Open installation_status.json in a text editor and change "_subfolder":"114.0.5282.144" to "_subfolder":"114.0.5282.115" and see if it helps

@burnout426 Not sure if this is pertinent, but I have updates disabled and will leave it that way. As each new update becomes available, what I do is read about it to see if I want to update. Before doing the update, I copy both the Opera launch folder, and the Opera Stable folder into a separate folder not associated with Opera. This way, if I have issue with the new update, I just delete the Opera folder and the Opera Stable folder and copy back the folders from the previous version of Opera, not losing anything.
