Thanks for reporting. A few direct follow up questions:

  • Can you tell me more about what you have enabled in the browser: Rewards, Sync, Wallet? - Any new extensions?
  • Did you enable any flags via brave://flags by any chance?
  • Can you check to see if there are any crashes reported using the following:

C:\Users[user]\AppData\Local\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\User Data\Crashpad

Thank you!

  • Rewards and Sync are enabled for me.
  • I did not make any changes to the flags previously, and couldn’t have done so afterwards since I can’t open Brave at all.
  • The Crashpad folder is empty.

Sync is on Not sure if rewards were on but I don’t think so

don’t know what flags are so none should be enabled

Crashpad is empty
(side note: I tried 2 open brave and then opened opera and my PC BlueScreened) not sure if its connected tho

I did not enable anything except ad block and there were no recent crash reports last one was 5 months ago so not related to this issue
