then only way to stop logging to make debug.log file read-only or even hidden in file properties, it will stay in the folder hidden without any new logs in debug,log file, not quite sure what causes this bug, maybe Microsoft.NET or visual studio runtime, since i have in some other app folders also, it is not trojan or virus, some other problem, error is always same in debug.log

it creates debug.log files each time it wants to check new updates, well at least you can put --disable-update in opera shortcut and it stop creating debug.log files during each start, but it wont help in some cases and debug.log will be created anyway, if you block debug.log file, it will create in other folders, for me system32,desktop and some other places, so blocking debug.log file not good idea, maybe it will work better if you disable task scheduler two operagx tasks + put --disable-update in operagx shortcut, other opera versions don't have this problem, only occurs in operagx, so disabling update check completly in operagx might work better, but after manual update it will create new debug.log anyway, there's no permanent fix for the moment

This is an issue with chromium crashpad.
In file Explorer, open:
%appdata%\..\RoamingSearch for "crashpad" , select and delete ALL results (if prompt says file in use, then skip), restart windows.

debug,log is generated by C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera GX Stable\Crash Reports folder (probably settings.dat file) , you cannot do anything about this, only opera devs can fix it, deleting folder don't fix this problem, it will create another folder after restarting opera and debul.log will be there once again, standard opera build don't have this problem, only operagx, probably something to do with crash report service, if you block either Crash Reports folder or opera_crashreporter.exe debug.log will have just different log :
AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera GX Stable\Crash Reports\settings.dat: Access is denied. (0x5) or crashpad_client_win.cc(543)] CreateProcess: The system cannot find the file specified. (0x2) if you delete opera_crashreporter.exe probably it is unfixable, only devs can remove this log file -
