Updating doesn't mess with my login sessions at all. Updating just provides new versions of the program files. It doesn't mess with Opera's profile (user data).
Deleting/renaming opera_autoupdate.exe cripples updating and therefore prevents updating (in normal Opera install and in a standalone installation).
I don't know what's going on with your setup, but something is seriously messed up. With that said though, I do support an actual option in the UI to disable updates.

Opera behavior: https://youtu.be/MX3ciUA8z64
I couldn't reproduce the problem (using trackpad mouse) in Opera 76.0.4017.123 on Windows 10. I tried in the Edit Contact dialog for a contact at contacts.google.com and I tried some static text at news.google.com. All seem seems good to me.
(On a side note, not relevant to the issue of dragging non-link text or input field text, for selected text that's part of a link (the hand cursor shows when hovering over it), you need to drag the selected text down or up instead of left or right.)
If you just have the icon where the actual extension hasn't been installed, goto https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/amazon-for-opera/ and install the extension. Then, remove the extension. That should get rid of the icon and hopefully stop it from coming back.

So I renamed my profile and started clean.
Try in actual standalone installation too just for good measure. And, for your regular Opera install, uninstall it (no need to delete your profile when uninstalling since that doesn't make a difference), delete the install folder if it remains, and reinstall. That's just to make sure everything is good with Opera's program files.
You can also try clearing the "C:\windows\prefetch" folder so that Windows rebuilds the cache for Opera.
And, also, try something non-related like going to opera://settings/system and disabling hardware acceleration just to see if Opera on your system is taking a while to do GPU initialization stuff for some reason.
Everything is working fine for me in Opera too. I can select text on a Wikipedia page and drag it into the page's search field no problem. On other sides with forms, I can drag selected test from one form field to another no problem.
It's no longer supported.
Vivaldi has an experimental mail client that's meant to replace Opera Mail. It can even import from Opera Mail. To test it out, in Vivaldi, goto the URL vivaldi://experiments/, enable it, and restart Vivaldi.
It's still in the early stages though, but it works decently. You can goto https://forum.vivaldi.net/category/194/mail-client to make feature requests and https://forum.vivaldi.net/category/191/vivaldi-mail for support.
The latest snapshot of Vivaldi might have more fixes for mail in it than stable.
Just be warned that it's all experimental at the moment. While it's been pretty stable in testing, make sure you have backups of your messages etc. just in case.
Okay. Make a standalone installation to a folder on your desktop and try the command line with its launcher.exe.
If it works fine there, I would guess it has something to do with Opera Sync or the number of bookmarks you have.
Same issue if you open a command prompt and do:
start "test" "https://example.com/"
?
Same issue if you do:
"path to Opera's launcher.exe" "https://example.com/"
?
@gowerboy You might be able to hit ctrl + z to undo the operation, but don't remember for sure.
@leocg Yeah, by default, the "All Messages/Unread" view only shows unread messages. You have to click the "settings for this view" icon on the message list toolbar and check "show read" for read messages to show in "All Messages/Unread". So, for the OP, they need to make sure "show read" is unchecked for "All Messages/Unread".
Can you click the taskbar icon, hit alt + space and then use use "move" (restore down first if the Windows is maximized) to move the window back into view? Or, try hitting the Windows key + d a bunch of times to see if it makes the window appear again.
Some ISPs in Egypt, Bangladesh, Nepal, Jordan, and the Philippines block opera.com and its subdomains. If you're running into that, you'll need to use a VPN to work around it.
You can try Opera's built-in VPN first. Goto the URL opera://settings/vpn, enable the VPN, click the VPN badge at the left of the address field, set a location, and try https://addons.opera.com/ again. If that doesn't work, Opera's VPN servers might be blocked by your ISP too. If that's the case, you'll need to use a different VPN (system-wide one that Opera runs through).
Note though that Opera supports most Chrome extension. You can get them from https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/extensions.
@l33t4opera Weird. I'm surprised that this was needed. But, glad it solved it. Thanks.
@kaizu I see you already have it solved, but, to answer your question:
The "Bookmarks" file in the profile folder is a JSON file. You can edit it with a text editor or with JSONedit (which is nicer). Since the speed dial entries are just bookmarks in a bookmarks "speed dial" folder, you'll see the start page entries right there in the "Bookmarks" file.
Now, the speed dial entries are special though in that they have an imageID that's references a thumbnail. That imageID and its thumbnanil (as base64 data) are stored in the "BookmarksExtras" for each speed dial. The "BookmarksExtras" file is also a JSON file that you can edit.
In short, use something like https://www.base64-image.de/ to base64-encode the image you want to use for a thumbnail, find the imageID in "BookmarksExtras" for the speed dial you want to modify, and replace the existing base64 data with the data for the new image (all while Opera is closed). Then, you can customize things how you like.
Now, there is another way to do things. Directly load the URL to an image you want as a thumbnail and bookmark that image to the speed dial folder. Then, close Opera and edit the "Bookmarks" file. There, find the entry for the image, change its URL to the site/page you want, and change its name to what you want. In this case, you won't have to mess with the data in "BookmarksExtras" because the data for the image you bookmarked will already be there.
@andrew84 A #disable-media-indicator flag that doesn't rely on power mode would be nice too.
ctrl+y might be able to redo those deletes.
