@hucker actually I just agreed with you on both counts ! wonder why that was greyed out LOL?

@hucker nope no bad words and certainly none as used by some on this post line .. maybe didn't like my opinions on Opera? and the inability to edit or control it anymore and its self replicating auto update !

@gmel how did you disable automatic updates ? I have tried 10+ different ways and like malware it always reappears!

@bvitanov agreed!

the same command in opera merely initiates a new update download

checked the whole PC using search in explorer - no items found ... now you understand the issues

@leocg which is where as in win 11 it is in multiple places . A search of win explorer of the whole laptop ! for opera auto update reveals nothing. Opera is present in multiple places inc user . user under one drive files, under program file drive C etc and it seems that Opera have decided to make it as obscure as possible , Please name the actual files .. there are many .exe files . O r even show a screenshot ? I have researched the internet and many have this issue .

@leocg Hi Thanks have done that twice but used task scheduler to block the auto update -- it seems to have failed twice

Where are the opera auto update executables in which directory that you refer to please? This is Win 11 another rubbish piece of software

Thanks

Opera or whatever # they give it is a disaster , totally screws up tabs as has been reported recently.

I removed it and reinstalled version 9. latest pre 1or 10 .

Everything was great!

But damn Opera just keeps auto updating and despite searching and trying everything I cannot stop it.

If I can't resolve this I am removing Opera - it has got worse and worse last 3 years .

Any assistance that actually will block updates gratefully received before going back to firefox .

@tequilacat said in 100+ tabs look extremely bad after latest update:

@mollycockles does older opera pick up all the data? No issues like "this file was written with newer version of Opera, this version will not start"?

In my case there were no issues it reopened with all tabs in place and working properly which showed me it definitely was an issue with the new version ! 1.00. I am writing this from the browser now with the same tabs open as when I reinstalled the old version straight on top of the new one. I can't guarantee the same for you so best to save all tabs before you renistall the old version

Yes I had exactly the same issue when Opera auotupdated. I posted in the forums but got no responses. I found that by downloading the older version and installing it Opera reverted to proper functioning. The new 100 version sucks and some!

Opera just don't care
