@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"

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!
