Opera Creating Debug.log file for every Html File i open in opera browser *-*?

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.

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.

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).

As is says in the title. It says something like this in it:

[0108/201123.061:ERROR:registration_protocol_win.cc(84)] TransactNamedPipe: The pipe has been ended. (0x6D)

[Mod note: Merged with this topic because the issue is basically the same]
