@burnout426 No. I am running it without any sandbox. Installed from opera's website. and still have this issue.

@davyp: Syncronization of extensions can be quite hard to do because of te support for Chrome extensions. However, if Opera show url of extensions at the extension setting page, and if there would be a way to save these url links, it can be easier to install them back. ("V7 Extension Manager" was a good solution but it was removed from extension store.)

I didn't use any vpn while I am testing these...
For Opera and OperaPortable, there is no "debug.log" file created. With same settings and same files, OperaGX creates "debug.log" file on the installation folder, and on the file folder if I open anything (pdf or html) with OperaGX. During my test, I cleaned temp folders, profile and cache data folders at AppData, and "debug.log" files.
Here is my environment variables:

Anyone that can test this on a Sandbox? And any help from OperaGX developers?

I found a working solution at here: https://forums.opera.com/topic/47205/how-do-i-remove-my-old-devices-or-unsync-tabs-from-deleted-apps/27

@burnout426 said in Opera creates debug.log files again and again...:

Here is my environment variables:

Hmm, don't see anything in there that stands out. But, one other idea for a test (not a solution) is to temporarily create a new Windows users (local only one not tied to a Microsoft account), log into it and see if Opera GX does it there too or not.

I tested it on a new local user, and still have the same issue.
I will try to disable Opera GX scheduled Autoupdates as @george2014 said.
