Brave v1.68.137 immediately closing upon opening

When I try to open Brave, I see a blank window open on my screen for a split second before it immediately closes. Restarting does not solve the problem. I am downloading Brave from the official website. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling which also does not work.
(Windows 11, Brave v1.68.137)
im not smart with technology I’m assuming there’s an obvious answer to this
