Download the offline installer (the 64-bit one if you're using Windows 7 64-bit) from https://www.opera.com/download, close Opera, and uninstall Opera (don't choose to delete your data when uninstalling). Then, launch the Opera installer, click "options", set "install path" to "C:\Program Files\Opera", set "install for" to "all users", check "Make Opera the default browser", uncheck "import data from default browser", and install.

Then, Opera should stop bugging you and Opera will appear in Default Programs.

@dobrien I've noticed that I already had that version and today there was an update to .189 and no problems so far.

Hi,

Opera has updated a few times since problems arose.
It is now at v66.0.3515.44.

All is well, bookmarks, extensions, & speed dial all intact.
Am sticking with Opera, I did not want to move to another browser.

Many thanks for our help.
