@kiwhen Opera doesn't start when you turn on your computer, unless you have manually and deliberately set up your Windows preferences for that to happen.
I always check my installers to prevent this behaviour, and like I said, I have also disabled the service itself. It still starts alongside Windows, and there is nothing I can do to stop it. Apart from uninstalling, obviously. If it is possible to stop it, which I very much doubt, it is way to difficult to do for any normal user. I have never had issues with preventing such behaviour from any other apps. I have even managed to kill the Xbox gaming service, and for anyone who has ever tried to do that - this should tell you something.

@kiwhen Never saw any ads pop-up from Opera in my desktop. Make sute that it isn't coming from a site or extension, as a notification. Also check your system for malwares.
I have never ever enabled any notifications or extensions. I don't allow desktop notifications in any browser. It is a white box in the lower right corner with a big, honking Opera logo on it. All the links in the ad goes to official Opera websites. Either Opera is doing this, or Opera has made actual malware. Or someone, for some reason, are making malware that looks exactly like Opera ads for coronavirus awareness. What seems more likely?

@kiwhen Regarding Opera be pinned on the taskbar, a tip: When a software installer give you options, click to see what they are.
Yesterday I had nothing, today, Opera must have updated itself (after starting with Windows, without permission). There was no updater, no installer, nothing to choose or deselect. It was just there, suddenly, with no warning. Poof.
