Description of the issue:
Exactly the same as here: Brave Not Launching in Windows 10
But I cannot reply because it was stale.
After Windows system reset (due to update problems) Brave no longer starts. I have tried all the recommended steps, but they don’t work.
How can this issue be reproduced?
Click the Brave shortcut (or exe, or try starting it via powershell).
Expected result:
Brave starts.
Brave Version( check About Brave
):
I don’t know, since I cannot start it. I also don’t get any output from .\brave.exe --version
or .\brave.exe --help

The Application
directory contains two folders. One is 88.1.20.110
. So I guess thats the version? The other is 88.1.20.108
.

I now deleted my user data directory (after backing it up). When I start brave, a CrashpadMetrics-active.pma file and a Crashpad directory are created. None of the files are plain text, unfortunately.

Ok, this worked for me now:
Backup and delete the Brave-Browser\User Data directory
Download and install brave again using a different browser
Replace the User Data directory with the backup
