That is the installation folder. Except for portable installations, your data is stored somewhere else, like in any Windows program by the way.

I tempted fate it started again
unwilling to mess with profile folders etc as dont want to lose
bookmarks or passes etc on which i rely
will just look for a replacement for opera
such a shame
such a silly issue

xtra: it is now doing it when i save a html file
it saves the file ok but the next time i open the html file debug.log appears giving the usual pointless info.

The errors in the debug logs mentioned here point to the following in the Chromium source:

Also, search Google, I see lots of programs can produce this log: https://www.google.com/search?q=registration_protocol_win.cc&oq=registration_protocol_win.cc

I'd delete Opera's program files direction, download the Opera installer, and reinstall. Then, I'd go into Windows Defualt Programs/Apps settings nd reset Opera as the default browser. I'd do that by protocol/app and file type to make sure Opera has all its associations correct. Also, since Opera doesn't support swf files, I'd associate swf files with something else in windows (or clear it so it's not associated with anything).

I'd also check Opera's launch.exe commands in the registry to make sure nothing has been added to them by malware. But, a resinstall of Opera might fix that.

In Opera, I'd look in opera://settings/handlers to make sure the list is clear. Maybe disable extensions for a bit and test.

registration_protocol_win.cc might not have anything to do with file associations and protocol associations, but I figured those are things to try since the debug logs get created when opening a file associated with Opera or via "open with". Just a guess.

@burnout426 Thanks for the tips
its now doing it with pdf files too

swf files are not assoc with opera
just html and pdf

debug.log contents

[1227/221254.004:ERROR:registration_protocol_win.cc(84)] TransactNamedPipe: The pipe has been ended. (0x6D)

It seems it is doing it with all files
I right clicked to open a txt file and got a debug.log as well

put chrome portable on to test it
no debug.log

What about Opera portable? If it doesn't do it there, that might mean the cause is in the Local State or Preferences file.

Something to try:

In Opera, press ctrl + shift + i to open the developer tools. Then, press F1 to goto the settings for the developer tools. Then, under "preferences", restore defaults.

I noticed that on my computers Opera generates these files starting from version 57. I wrote about it some time ago. I even set up a new profile. Unfortunately these files are still being created.

@burnout426

Why didnt I think of that omg smh

Ran opera portable
no debug.log

and

my regular installed opera is now not making debug.log as well, as if somehow running the portable fixed it ?
its the weirdest thing...

A Former User @Guest

well it was good while it lasted its doing it again now
i made the mistake of associating pdf files with
installed opera and bang debug.log as soon as i open one
I give up

Did you try a complete uninstall and a reinstall of Opera?

I know it can happen with more than just pdf files, but under opera://settings/content/pdfDocuments, is "Download PDF files instead of automatically opening them in Opera" enabled or disabled?

Did you check that too?

@Ceedee Are you still only experiencing the issue when Chromecast support is enabled?

Goto the URL opera://settings/userInterface. Do you have "Enable Chromecast support" listed there? If so and it's enabled, does disabling it help at all for you?

It would appear that was a red-herring
just a coincidence it happens it seems if i associate files to open with opera

i repeated what i did before

associated html, pdf etc with portable opera
ran portable
and now once again installed opera doesnt make debug.logs

makes no sense but will see how it goes

I am reluctant to delete profiles or uninstall etc
as it works ok unless i open it from a saved html or pdf or swf file etc

Disabling "Enable Chromecast support" definitely does not help. The problem with "debug.log" continues. Even in the latest version (57.0.3098.110).
