Brave Sync not working across Win PCs

<---------Delete this line and everything above before posting---------->**

Description of the issue:
Brave Sync was successfully set up on my 2nd Windows computer (a laptop) and synced all that was set to sync (custom sync options) including bookmarks. I only use this laptop about 1x/month, and now the new bookmarks from my desktop are not syncing to the laptop.
I can’t even remove my laptop from the sync chain: it sends me back one menu to the main Settings>Sync page, but when I click Manage Sync Settings, I see I’m still in the chain.
Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): 1. 2. 3.

Reproduces how often:

Sync between Windows pc and Iphone and Ipad

Unable to sync apple devices with the PC. Ipad and Iphone Sync well but neither can read the QR code on the PC. And to try it the other way, on the PC there is no option to insert the word code from the ios devices into Brave.

Others possibly having the same issue, I figured I’d link them, not for OP’s purposes specifically though…

Use your camera to scan the QR Code below” On mobile device I go to Brave Settings. I scroll down and find Sync. …

Thanks, but these are all issues getting sync between PC and mobile to work. Mine is PC-to-PC, and it was working but is now broken. So those responses aren’t quite apt.

It is still a Brave sync issue, so I would still suggest you consider looking the information over, maybe it’s not applicable to your specific situation but I thought reviewing Brave Sync info might help, but you do with the information as you wish, hope you’re able to get it resolved either way

Thanks, will do. I’d say “Thanks a million” but I guess I should say “Thanks a billion”

Really uncreative name I know but it’s what came to me as I was setting up the account.

Just ended up deleting the sync chain entirely and recreating a new one. Sometimes brute force is the easiest approach.
