Brave not working on mac after quitting

[pavankt]

Description of the issue:
Brave browser is not responding after quitting by mistake. I pressed cmd + q, tried to reopen the browser and it’s showing blank pages. I’m attaching some screenshots for reference.

I can’t event open the brave version

Attaching a screenshot of Brave task manager for reference

How can this issue be reproduced?

1. Open brave
2. Open good number of windows and tabs. In my case 7 Windows and 22 Tabs (Please don’t judge me by the tab count )
3. Quit brave using Cmd + Q shortcut.
4. Reopen Brave using Spotlight search in Mac

Expected result:
The brave should open and load all the windows and tabs which were active before quitting.

Brave Version( check About Brave):
Can’t check because brave not opening version or help or settings.

Hello,
Deleting the BraveBrowser app from Applications directory and downloading again worked. Gladly all the bookmarks and plugins are there. Thanks for the support anyway
