        I mean to rename Opera's profile folder so a new one will be created.

          That's kinda weird but it's great that you've found the solution.

                    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:

                        • https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/third_party/crashpad/crashpad/util/win/registration_protocol_win.cc?rcl=8abe57876a86cf492b1db84b07fe7e5544be42bb&l=84

                        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.

                                      and

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

                                          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?
