Hi,
Since this morning, it is impossible to use Brave: when I launch it, it starts and closes after 5 seconds. I can’t do anything about it at all.
I reinstalled it, but it didn’t work.
Could you help me solve this big problem, please?
Start up Brave Browser - unburdened - using the Brave Browser shortcut on your computer’s Desktop.
For the following Changed Path, the switches are intended to:
- Start up Brave Browser, using the “Default” named user Profile folder [
--profile-directory="Default"
] - Showing a New Private Window [
--incognito
] - Disable all experiments at
brave://flags
[--no-experiments
] - Disable extensions [
--disable-extensions
] - Disable hardware (GPU) ie Graphic Acceleration [
--disable-gpu
] - Enable leak detection and if that failure occurs, then crash the browser [
--enable-leak-detection --crash-on-failure
are a combo] - Produce error/log output to a file named ‘brave_console_out.txt’ on the Window OS Desktop
Changed Path:
64 architecture, system level installation:
"C:\Program Files\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe" --profile-directory="Default" --incognito --no-experiments --disable-extensions --disable-gpu --enable-leak-detection --crash-on-failure 2> %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\brave_console_out.txt
x86 architecture, system level installation:
"C:\Program Files(x86)\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe" --profile-directory="Default" --incognito --no-experiments --disable-extensions --disable-gpu --enable-leak-detection --crash-on-failure 2> %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\brave_console_out.txt
64 / x86 architecture, user level installation (NOTE: you must substitute your Windows OS user account name for [UserName]
):
"C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Local\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe" --profile-directory="Default" --incognito --no-experiments --disable-extensions --disable-gpu --enable-leak-detection --crash-on-failure 2> %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\brave_console_out.txt
Notice that the existing path, BEFORE the additions, is enclosed by double-quote marks:
"C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Local\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe"
And, everything added to the existing path, is located after the existing path.
