Brave Crashing Upon Startup

[Chocoholic]

@Sharnao Try this:

1. Restart computer. Did a restart work? Go to next if no.
2. Open any other browser (including other working versions of Brave) and reinstall Brave using installer from the official site Download Brave. You should not lose any data, but just in case, if you have data you want to save, then backup your Brave-Browser folder. The path below is to the User Data folder. Just go up one.
   
   
3. Close any open browsers, then right click on the Brave Browser icon and select Troubleshoot compatibility from the menu. Did this solve problem? Go to next if no.
4. Disable anti-virus software if you have any. Did this work?
5. You could also install Brave Beta to see if it is working. That would help with troubleshooting your problem.

If none of the above worked, then you should follow the topic linked below. @jlondonr created the topic and a more technical savvy community member is helping there. Since you have a similar issue, you can track that topic.

Not launching browser

Description of the issue: Brave browser will not open after restarting PC. PC prompts a ‘loading wheel’ on curser upon launching Brave, it then disappears and Brave never opens. Brave is not present in my Task Manager apart from multiple “Brave software update”. I had previously updated my browser very recently and there should be no necessary updates. Last updated 6/26/2022 How can this issue be reproduced? Unsure of how to reproduce this as it has happened more or less completely randoml…

Finally, you should create your own topic and provide the information requested in the template. Include information on what you have tried and provide your OS version too.

Hope this helps!
