Description of the issue:
I’ve been experiencing persistent and unusual behavior on Windows 11. To address it, I performed a clean installation of the OS on a brand-new SSD. Despite this, the issue remained unresolved—until I made a key discovery.
To my surprise, the problem began only after installing the Brave browser. Once I uninstalled Brave, the system stabilized immediately. Upon closer investigation, I noticed that Brave appears to initiate a DCOM-related process, which is unexpected. This DCOM process attempts to call objects that are either missing or incorrectly referenced in the registry, resulting in system instability.
Request:
Please investigate why Brave is triggering DCOM activity and accessing registry objects that may not exist or are improperly configured. This behavior seems to be the root cause of the system issues and may pose a broader compatibility or security concern.
