I am crying, but these are tears of happiness. After a very long time of searching, I finally managed to get rid of that annoying crap.
Here's how I managed to disable scrolling in context menu:
- Download the old version Opera_111.0.5168.61_Setup.exe from this link:
https://ftp.opera.com/ftp/pub/opera/desktop/111.0.5168.61/win/
(You will need the CCleaner program for the next steps)
-
Disconnect the internet!!!
-
Install the downloaded Opera_111.0.5168.61_Setup.exe (install it in the same location as your current version).
-
Now, disable auto-update:
- From Windows Task Scheduler remove the update entry. via CCleaner program: Open Tools > Startup > Scheduled Tasks, then disable Opera scheduled Autoupdate and Opera scheduled assistant Autoupdate.
-
In the Opera folder search for opera_autoupdate.exe and delete it.
-
In the shortcut properties, add --disable-update to the Target field."
- Reboot PC, turn on the Internet, Use.
notes:
- now Opera will say that an update is available, but will not auto-update itself.
- also because opera can not update, every time you open opera it will run logo animation, it can be disabled by deleting opera_gx_splash.exe in the opera folder.
