大多数现代浏览器都安装了各种额外的组件。其中一些负责收集诊断数据，而另一些则确保页面加载更快或保持浏览器在后台运行，因此重新启动更快。Opera浏览器还提供了一个名为^(Opera)Opera Browser Assistant的类似程序，它会在您安装浏览器时安装。如果助手占用大量资源或者您不希望它在那里，这里是禁用或删除Opera浏览器助手的方法。

什么是Opera 浏览器助手^{(Opera Browser Assistant)}？

助手计划在一年前推出。这是Opera的官方程序，所以你不必害怕。据Opera论坛的一位用户说，该程序是无害的。虽然用户声称它通常是在Opera与其他应用程序捆绑时安装的，但即使我通过直接从官方网站下载安装了浏览器，它也会出现。

According to him, the assistant is just there to let you know that you have Opera on your system. If you uninstall Opera the software will be uninstalled as well.

在进一步调查中，我发现了一件事。任务计划程序^{(Task Scheduler)}有一个与助手相关的专用任务。它确保Opera浏览器助手保持更新到最新版本。它被命名为“ Opera定时助手Autoupdate 1584408358 ”。它运行以下命令：

C:Users<username>AppDataLocalProgramsOperalauncher.exe --scheduledautoupdate --component-name=assistant --component-path="C:Users<username>AppDataLocalProgramsOperaassistant" $(Arg0)

Opera提供的内容既不新鲜，也不令人惊讶。甚至Chrome 在系统托盘中都有一个图标，^{(Chrome has an icon in the System Tray)}Microsoft Edge 浏览器^{(Microsoft Edge browser)}也是如此。它们都提供额外的功能。这些功能包括预加载网页、确保浏览器快速启动等等。但是，这些程序可能会收集使用统计信息以改善软件的体验。因此，如果您担心自己的隐私，最好禁用或删除Opera浏览器助手。

如何禁用或删除Opera 浏览器助手^{(Opera Browser Assistant)}

Opera浏览器不提供任何内置设置来禁用浏览器助手^{(Browser Assistant)}。因此，如果您打算使用浏览器，最好使用其他方法禁用助​​手。

1]从启动中禁用

• 右键单击^{(Right-click)}任务栏^(Taskbar)，然后选择任务^(Task)管理器
• 在任务管理器^{(Task Manager)}中，切换到启动^(Startup)选项卡
• 右键单击^{(Right-click)}Opera Browser Assistant^{(Opera Browser Assistant)}，然后禁用它。

一旦状态发生变化，当您启动计算机并确保它不会占用大量资源时，它将不会启动。但是，请注意，从启动^(Startup)中禁用并不意味着Opera无法启动它。如果浏览器需要它，程序将启动。您还可以使用Autorun等程序来管理启动项^{(manage startup items)}。

2]删除^(Remove)或重命名浏览器助手^{(Rename Browser Assistant)}

另一种选择是从计算机中删除Opera Browser Assistant文件。

• 打开任务管理器^{(Task Manager)}并找到浏览器助手程序。
• 按照上述方法中的步骤从启动^(Startup)中禁用它。
• 右键单击它，然后单击“打开文件位置”上下文菜单。
• 现在您可以选择直接重命名或删除文件。

如果您无法删除它，请将您的计算机重新启动到安全模式^{(restart your computer into Safe mode)}。在安全模式下，您应该能够不受任何限制地重命名或删除文件。

也就是说，这些是临时方法。下次更新可能会再次安装Opera浏览器助手，并启用启动^(Startup)设置。因此，您必须密切关注其状态，尤其是在更新之后。

我希望这篇文章能够成功消除您对Opera浏览器助手的疑虑，并且您能够在Windows中禁用或删除^(Windows)Opera 浏览器助手^{(Opera Browser Assistant)}。

What is the Opera Browser Assistant? Can I disable or remove it?

Most of the modern browsers have varioυs еxtra components installed along with them. Some of them are responsible for collecting diagnostics data, while others make surе that pages lоad faster or keep the browser running іn the background, so the relaunch is quicker. The Opera browser also offers a similar program called Opera Browser Assistant, which is installed when you install the browser. If the assistant is taking a lot of resources or you don’t want it to be there, here is how to disable or remove the Opera browser assistant.

What is the Opera Browser Assistant?

The assistant program was rolled out a year ago. It is an official program from Opera, so you don’t have to scared about it. According to a user in the Opera forums, the program is harmless.  While users claim that it is usually installed when Opera is bundled with another application, it appeared even when I had installed the browser by downloading it directly from the official website.

According to him, the assistant is just there to let you know that you have Opera on your system. If you uninstall Opera the software will be uninstalled as well.

On further investigation, I found one more thing. Task Scheduler has a dedicated task related to the assistant. It makes sure the Opera browser assistant stays updated to the latest version. It is named as “Opera scheduled assistant Autoupdate 1584408358.” It runs the following command:

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera\launcher.exe --scheduledautoupdate --component-name=assistant --component-path="C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera\assistant" $(Arg0)

What Opera is offering is neither new, nor it is surprising. Even Chrome has an icon in the System Tray, and so does the Microsoft Edge browser. They all offer extra features. These features include preloading the webpages, making sure the browser launches quickly, and more. However, it is possible that these programs collect usage statistics to improve the experience of the software. So if you are concerned about your privacy, it is a good idea to disable or remove the Opera browser assistant.

How to disable or remove Opera Browser Assistant

The Opera browser doesn’t offer any built-in setting to disable the Browser Assistant. So if you are planning to use the browser, it is best to disable the assistant using other methods.

1] Disable from Startup

• Right-click on the Taskbar, and select Task manager
• In Task Manager, switch to the Startup tab
• Right-click on Opera Browser Assistant, and disable it.

Once the status changes, it will not start when you boot into the computer and make sure it doesn’t take a lot of resources. However, do note that disabling from the Startup doesn’t mean Opera cannot launch it. If the browser needs it, the program will start. You can also use programs like Autorun to manage startup items.

2] Remove or Rename Browser Assistant

Another option is to delete the Opera Browser Assistant files from the computer.

• Open Task Manager and locate the browser assistant program.
• Disable it from the Startup by following the steps in the above method.
• Right-click on it and click on “Open the file location” context menu.
• Now you can choose to rename or delete the file directly.

In case you are not able to delete it, restart your computer into Safe mode. When in the Safe Mode, you should be able to rename or delete the file without any restrictions.

That said, these are temporary methods. The next update may install the Opera browser assistant again, and enable the Startup settings as well. So you will have to keep an eye on its status, especially after an update.

I hope the post was successful in clearing your doubts on the Opera browser assistant, and you were able to disable or remove Opera Browser Assistant in Windows.
