@leocg Would've been useful to tell us how to check Opera's task manager!

Found the key sequence thanks "shift+esc" keys.

I too have been having "out of memory errors" since about the last 2 updates!
I have turned off my extensions and I will monitor from here going forward Mar 26,2019.

I would like to suggest that a "switch" be added for turning "AutoUpdate" on or off, also that when an update occurs the "user" be given the opportunity to remove "old" copies of Opera from the computer!

I have included a couple of images for the reason of my request!

I have been using Opera for about 2 years now and have been quite happy with it and allowing the browser to "Auto Update" no problems until Version 55 I am not happy with the new layout of the settings page and wanted to roll back to an earlier version.
Well guess what re-installing an earlier version has no provision to turn off auto update. After reinstalling an earlier version it automatically runs auto update and on next launch I am back to version 55!.

Is there anyway to turn this off? I have read all the posts describing rename the "update.exe" file and it doesn't matter, turn off or delete the function in "TASK" this also doesn't stop the update from running!

I like to have control over my software allowing me to decide I feel as a violation!

@leocg said in Auto Update no ON/OFF switch!:

The auto update executable is located in the installation folder, usually c:\program files\Opera, under the last build folder.

OK, found the correct folder,
Renamed files in both folders "OFFopera_autoupdate.exe"

@darthagnon
I too am not happy with the "New" settings page since the release of version "55". In a previous post this was the answer I recieved which has helped, also need to turn off "auto_update.exe" by renaming the file.

From @burnout426 "For now, you can disable opera://flags/#new-md-settings to get the old settings page back. The option might get removed eventually though."

The above pics shows my display of "settings" with the flag disabled.
Cheers!

I have really been strugling with my internet connection lately 43 disconnects in the last 24 hours
Version:84.0.4316.21 Windows 10 and hard wired to the modem via ethernet cable.

Any suggestions other than the normal "reboot, computer & modem" oh yeah running fibe internet !

@TufNut Hello, I don't know if it is related but I use a Logitech mouse and have no problems with scrolling. I am using Opera Version:70.0.3728.144 with Windows 2004 (their most recent update)
Perhaps try this link for Logitech: https://support.logi.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360044074314-Logitech-Options-doesn-t-offer-Smooth-Scrolling-on-Opera-GX

@burnout426 Looks like someone else with the problem!

Here is a possible work around! https://www.opera.com/computer/portable

@burnout426 Well Burnout, I have been all around the park with this crap, loaded unloaded,updated, recovered from April 25 and it seems when I log in to "Sync" is when my speed dials screw up!

I am afraid I will just be stuck on this version without sync until Opera sends me confirmation it is fixed! Thanks for the input!

@sharkyca said in Opera 68.0.3618.104 Stable Crash:

@burnout426 Thanks for the time you have spent on this, I am about to throw my hands up! I uninstalled Opera completely and re-downloaded and install fresh as per Opera guidelines per link https://help.opera.com/en/latest/crashes-and-issues/ after copying all said files from my backups to correct folders none of my extensions are loaded and my Opera version has suddenly jumped to :Version:68.0.3618.125!

OK, last try before I scrap Opera and go back to Firefox or Chrome! I am going to restore from a full backup which include (appdata Local & appdata roaming) Wish me luck!

Follow up to this thread!

I have run out of patience, seems whenever I sign in with sync my "speed dials" get wiped out and now with a new install over a backed up version all my extensions are also wiped out!

Why have I been updated from Vers 68.0.3618.104 to vers. 68.0.3618.125 in 2 days???

If this gets fixed I will be over on Chrome !
Good Luck!

@burnout426 Spoke too soon, after closing down Opera and re-opening all my speed dials again vanished!

Must have to do with session settings up dating or something! Very frustrating!

See updated screen shot!

Any help appreciated!

@burnout426 Thanks for your quick response!

I don't get a lot of problems with Opera but this had me scratching my head!

I do run Acronis backup software on my laptop that keeps an runs an incremental backup every week and a full backup after every 5 but restoring the files to the Opera path was not working.

I think the preference file became corrupt and I had a hard time digging it out.

Is there an easy way store the preference file?

I have my bookmarks & speed dials all back but it took some time, thanks for any more info you could share on this!

Today after a recent update to this version on startup I got an error "preferences"

After sorting things out and getting back in "sync" all my "speed dials" are gone!

Help please is there a way to get them back?

Using Windows 10, 64 bit!
