@genegold: I've just discovered that it automatic updated, so I can't escape this horrible version. What to do?

Did you others bug report it? Feel free to use my BR number, BS-70469, under the subject:
"Re: BS-70469 While opening new blank tab Opera instead restarts"

@renatob: Wish I knew. There was a forum topic about it, but the solution was complicated. There is a real need for an auto update off/on setting.

Is there a way to turn off the sound Opera makes on start up?

@burnout426 Thanks. So as I read your post, given the changes over time, the only thing needed now to account for my previously added syntax is renaming the autoupdate file. I do have zoom set for 80% (wish there were 5% options between 80 and 100).

@burnout426 Thanks.

@burnout426 Thanks. I see that there is a delete on close setting.

Thanks. Those don't seem to be it. Each file is different, but examples are not something I'd want to post on a public site. I've got IDM looking into it too. I just wondered if there's a Save As setting, like their used to be as I recall (accessible in Windows settings)

@renatob: Go a system restore. The problem is auto update is apt to occur sometime after. This is a real cluster f***

Probably not. The changelog shows last Chromium update on Sept 26, while this started with the Win 10 and O64 updates on Oct 8.

@genegold: Just did it again. Several tabs open, click on + to open a new tab and instantly the splash screen is playing and a new sessions starts (w/o all the open tabs). It's happened every day since I installed this version.

The Download with IDM extention is the Integration Module, I believe. Or at least with my mouse over the extension, it says Integrated is Enabled.

Follow up: I see now that there is a separate Integration Module, which I had before, but it's the one I mention above that's getting the IDM box to come up (along with the Opera Save As one).

@genegold: During the 3-4 hour session Opera crashed/instantly restarted 6 times, all the result of either trying to open or close a tab.

@genegold And again 55 minutes later. It seems to happen when there's a lot of tabs open, but so far I've not been able to replicate it intentionally. Certainly having to use History a lot.

@genegold: This goes on and on: in SUMo pro, I just now with a right click opened the MS Teams website. The flash screen (and sound) ran, but there was no evidence of Opera closing, as the same tabs remained open. I have no idea what's causing this, but it is specific to this build of Opera 102.

@genegold:On Opera forums, others report it's happening to them too:
