i’m looking for threads and people to help but there’s no-one who helps
The only thing I know of are
Turn off hardware accelleration
Turn off sync
Not only are those hit and miss, I know of nothing else if either of those don’t work or if you aren’t using the settings…
Hi @Neo1 , Welcome to Community!
Can you try opening command prompt and enter this command:
"C:\Program Files BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe" --disable-gpu
or
brave.exe --disable-gpu
sorry… Add the flag to the command…
@astounding ,
Thank you for confirming. I also assume you don’t want to, nor are you planning to use Sync at all . Note that the Sync process will not run if there is no Sync chain.
Additionally, the arg you’re looking for should actually be --disable-brave-sync
edit: If this helps you then you can permanently disable these in settings…

disabling sync doesn’t work
@Sxmnium ,
Use these steps to disable Hardware Acceleration
(as @megaspaz suggested) and let us know if it helps with the crashing:

I can’t disable gpu using command prompt. Does not recognize it.

@borjanvitanov ,
Try these steps to perform the same action with different steps:
Apologies to any Win7 users here who were getting blocked by this. We truly appreciate your patience and assistance with addressing the issue. There’s clearly something going on under the hood with respect to Brave and Win7 display settings. We’ll work that out on our end, but this workaround should suffice for now.
For anyone in this thread (or just now getting here), I’m marking this as the “solution” temporarily. There’s a chance this may not work in all cases. If you attempt this solution (…
I’m using Win 10 not 7, and I installed the beta version. So far the Beta works good. I just haven’t transferred all my settings from the (older) newer version. However, the original (non-beta version of the browser was better) At least this one (the beta version) is not crushing so far.
Let us know when we can see any fix.
Thanks,
B.V.
@borjanvitanov ,
The steps will work just the same in Win10 as in Win7. Are you wanting all of your data to be moved into the Beta installation, or just Rewards data?
Well just the rewards, if there is no fix to the original browser.
@borjanvitanov ,
Can you try the steps I provided above on the original (Release) Brave installation and see if it stops the crashing?
Hey there Mattches,
first thank you for support. Just registered to let the community know.
Second, i nearly had a heartattack when updating brave to latest version and finding out that it was insta crashing at startup.
What finally made it work is disabling gpu with --disable-gpu
So i kinda recovered and had to open a cold beer.
Brave by far is the most fast and secure browser i ever used and hope it continuous its way and hopefully you find a fix for that nasty bug.
thx th1950
how did you “disable-gpu”?
I had to install the beta version.
just add it on the end of the command line
thank you. I did it but it won’t work.
did you use '--disable-gpu'
? (no quotes)
