I asked a question in the Opera for PC Windows forum.
Question was regarding when I close Opera sleepdetectorserv appears in the windows taskbar. I asked what sleepdetectorserv was and if it was safe.

Instead of answering a moderator by the name of leocg locked the question and marked it as Closed as duplicated. What does this mean? My question was not even answered. What is sleepdetectorserv????

@nedf Your topic is a duplicate of the topic you had replied to that is about the same issue.
