Ran launcher

Sometimes I see with process explorer that Opera runs a --- Ran launcher?
This will eat your processor for over 50% pushing my Pc into the red area.

What kind of rubbish is that?
It also happens that Opera is using over 50 % CPU, while nothing else is running, just viewing this page?

Why do I find some 20 times Opera.exe in the list of active programs while only one site is being viewed?

1. Which is your Opera [version]?
2. Do you have installed & active plugins and/or extensions there? In nuOpera each of them has a process of its own, plus one for each tab, plus one for the browser as a whole (if I get it right).

That is not part of Opera and is not made by the Opera Devs or included with Opera when you install it. A quick google says its an MMO game. If you don't use it then uninstall it.

Launcher.exe is Opera's executable file. It will launch the corresponding opera.exe in the current version folder.

It should not bring any issues. If it is happening then it may be a bug.

Do you use any extensions? If so, could you test with them disabled?

I'm using 35.0.2066.37 - Windows 7 64-bit (WoW64)

In know that launcher starts Opera.
But Ran-launcher is something different.
It runs as opera runs.
I could stop/kill that process with process-explorer and Opera continues as normal dropping the excessive CPU usage.
So it has nothing to do with ordinary functions.
I also can't find any register-links until now not even the file?
But is start sometimes and is Cpu consuming, it may also drop off after a while
I deleted the Opera crash reporter, because that also claims a lot of CPU time for no reason at all.
I noticed the problem with playing video's on Youtube, which were staggering, while my CPU should be fast enough to even run in HD.

I'm using a list of plug-ins yes, but would they appear as Opera related?
I could stop them, to see if it does something if Ran-launcher runs.
But why are there so many Opera.exe in the list of system explorer?

I think it's indeed a bug.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\35.0.2066.37\opera.exe" --ran-launcher

I copied this from another site as an example, just to show how it looks like.

According toi Opera's Task Manager, it's suppose to be a tab. I suspect it's the start page.

It did it just again. Using over 50% CPU wasted time.
I cancelled it with Systemexplorer the movie was running as normal.

There was only one page open on Youtube.
Normal Cpu usage on a HD video would be about 44%.
So adding up 50% will drive the CPU to it's limits.
