Randomly open new windows

Windows 11 user here. Not entirely sure what causes this to occur but its really annoying having new windows (ctrl+n) pop-up and I can never find any meaningful way to solve this bug. Its happened five times as of writing this and I have no idea how exactly to recreate it because I can leave my desktop alone for five minutes and I'll have at least 10 new windows opened. Its annoying having to constantly manage new windows like they're pop-up ads and I might have to switch to chrome if this continues.

@warrior24110 The tabs/windows are empty or they open with a certain page?
I would start by disabling all extensions. If it doesn't help, I would check the system for malware.
I also would check if a third party software isn't trying to open a webpage.

Set Chrome as the default browser on Windows for a tad and see if it starts opening new windows all the time. Then, at least you'll know it's not Opera specifically but something (malware maybe) targeting the default browser.

I too has this bug, it's happening both to my bedside laptop and desktop. However not as often as you I think, and usually no more than 1 extra window. Every time I go to bed I have to close an opera window. and the window is allways the defult new tab in in new window page.
