@bbildman I believe that only works for the specific shortcut you use to launch Opera, which isn't attached to the shortcut in the taskbar.

What worked for me is #1: Adding the system environment variable "OPERA_AUTOUPDATE_DISABLED" to my User variables, and then

#2: going to the program directory for opera, opening the folder that matches the version of Opera I like, and then renaming "opera_autoupdate.exe", "opera_autoupdate.licenses", "opera_autoupdate.version".

For me, it was ....AppData\Local\Programs\Opera\99.0.4788.9_3

I really like the Opera 99 user interface but recently my computer magically updated to Opera 100. I really dislike the opera 100 UI and want to stick with 99 but I can't seem to prevent the auto update.

I've added an home environment variable to my computer to disable the updating, however whenever I power off and on my computer (which I do every night), opera ends up being updated again.

Anyone have a solution? I don't know why this update is being shoved down my throat so hard when I don't want it, I'd rather switch to fire fox at this point since its not chromium based...
