Brave isn't opening after I installed it (crashing)

Browser Support Desktop Support

I have downloaded brave yet again today as I am interested in the adblocker yet when I try to open it it doesn’t even open. Before, about a year or so ago i tried to download it after downloading windows 11 and it was actually opening and crashing as soon as it opens, however now it doesn’t even open.
How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. Downloading brave through the website
  2. Going through the installers
  3. Tapping open and it not opening

Expected result: crashes

Brave Version( check About Brave): can’t even check because I can’t open it

Additional Information: been happening for a year and would love some support

Notice the location of the BraveSoftware folder in the following Windows OS path:

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\BraveSoftware\

Try:

Exit/Quit everything.

Move that BraveSoftware folder to the Desktop.

Restart your Windows OS machine.

Start up Brave Browser.

Success?
