Well, for me Opera is the most unreliable browser. I prefer it in many other ways, but when I am half way through viewing a Youtube video or working with and referring to several open tabs, and then it crashes and I have to restore what I was doing manually, this is a no-go. So that's it for my Opera experience for now.

OK - Windows, application logs. Opera crashed several times this morning but there is only one Error I can find in te log - Application hang. The XML data shown below. There was also one Information record referring to Opera, also shown below, possibly about the same hang event. I confirmed no extensions at all installed.

Thanks for helping!

I copied in the log but my post is being moderated

No extensions. Just clean install. Crashes frequently. I can't even use the forum - I am writing this in Firefox. With opera a log in and then it redirects me but it has not logged in.

Have no idea what to look for in Windows event viewer.

Running on a Toshiba laptop with 100GB free space and 4GB RAM. It crashes randomly, not too often but a couple of times a day during the course of normal work. No particular pattern observed. But very irritating.
