Opera does the default browser check at startup, and shows a dialog box where you can turn off the option. Some users reported that Opera doesn’t save the preference, causing the Default Apps (Settings window) opening every time Opera was launched. Here is a simple fix for this issue.<\/p>\n

Close all instances of Opera, and open the following folder:<\/p>\n

C:\\Users\\%username%\\AppData\\Roaming\\Opera Software\\Opera Stable<\/pre>\n
Rename the file Preferences to Preferences.Old<\/p>\n
Start Opera. When the following dialog shows up…<\/p>\n
\"opera<\/p>\n
… enable the Don’t ask again<\/strong> checkbox, and click No<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
If that doesn’t help, edit the Preferences file using Notepad, and find the following string:<\/p>\n
"check_default_browser":true<\/pre>\n
Replace it as follows:<\/p>\n
"check_default_browser":false<\/pre>\n
Save the file.<\/p>\n
That’s it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
