HOW TO FIX BRAVE BROWSER NOT OPENING ON WINDOWS 10?
Just this morning my brave browser on desktop suddenly wont open. Updated the app but still wont open. any fix?
please help me fix this.
any tech support around?
please help. i badly need my browser now
yooo pls help me fix thissss
what happens when you try running the application?
nothing. tried starting it. will just give a loading icon on the mouse pointer and thats it.
uninstall-reinstall is out of the question as there are bookmarks and wallets on it. hope someone could help me here.
This seems similar to this thread: Links in other apps (Slack, Telegram, eM Client) don't open in Brave
Also, I’ve changed default app link type for http and https to Firefox and Edge, and both work. The issue is only with Brave.
I’ve also noticed that dragging a link onto tabs is impossible, so this seems like a global Brave issue, and not something that is Windows-adjacent.
ive read a couple of articles around but theyre all outdated. ive read a similar problem on brave not starting due to chromium bug and installing an updated app fixed it but it was on 2023 so it didnt help my case. hope brave devs have some helpdesk to assist us in this kind of problem not just a community of brave users helping each other.
I had something similar - reinstalled and all ok now, recovered all user data from sync. You don’t have sync phrase ?
If you had sync turned on and have another computer or phone connected to sync network - you can get pass phrase from that device _> Settings-Sync-Add new device - add computer
also you can try backup folders that have user data before reinstalling , in case you don’t have sync network ON.
just don’t wait too long because it not always wok if brave version you get data of is far away from the one you installed. Will not always work in that case
the problem is im not sure. bookmarks, i think i can leave it tho itll be a pain in the a$$ to try to recover all of it. but wallets, i dont want to risk it eventho i have seeds saved somewhere. i have a number of wallets in there. if theres a way to recover brave browser without uninstalling, ill have to find it.
Try method with folder copy on another Windows computer or create Another User on yours and install it separately for that user. without deleting it from your main . if it works you can do the same your computer, but another computer would be safer
thanks im trying this
UPDATE: Finally decided to uninstall the Brave Browser app on my desktop after thinking too many times. Reinstalled it and still got all the extensions, bookmarks etc on it. I was so fckng relieved. Still checking if i lost anything tho. Thanks for your help.
