I used to enjoy using Opera but the automatic updates are a big turn off.      We have one laptop that has an old version of Opera which does not update    I am trying determine the version so that I can go to OldApps and retrieve it for two other computers.   I looked under Opera help and don't see it listed.  Where should I look for this identification?   Or is there a way to make changes in registry so that it never looks for updates for any version?

Hello Janis,

 

 

Finding which version you have:

 

Spoiler

Click the menu drop down arrow and select Help menu from the available menu list.

 

 

Click the About Opera menu under the Help menu.

 

 

This should display the details of the Opera browser including the version as shown below

 

 

 

Disabling auto update:

Spoiler

• You can delete (or rename) opera_autoupdate.exe which is used to check for newer versions

  ...\Opera\26.0.1655.0\opera_autoupdate.exe
  

  After this, Opera displays an error which you won't see unless you open opera:\\about

Were you ever able to stop the automatic updates?
