This happens to me too after the last Brave browser update.

I’m using the 64 bit Brave browser on Windows 11 Pro.

I’ve gone into brave://crashes and sent the error reports.

Go to brave://flags and set Enable experimental Brave VPN to default or enabled, then restart the browser. Now it should stop crashing when you open the settings.
