After the Nov 2019 Windows 10 Update, Brave browser does not start. After rebooting the system it works the first time you open the browser as it normally does. The issue comes when the browser is closed. Then it won’t start again.
Chrome is working fine but they had an update. Perhaps, Brave hasn’t made updates affected by the Windows update.
I’ve checked to see if there were any Braves updates but it saying it is on the latest version.
We are finding that Windows Defender Firewall is blocking updates. It tries to update Brave but it is being blocked. I can stop Windows Defender Firewall in the configuration and even stop Windows Defender at the registry level, but the Windows Defender Firewall service still running. We are trying to figure out what happened during this latest round of Windows updates that all the sudden is affecting updates.
We finally gave up as it was affecting other apps from updating or installing. We restored the laptop. All Window updates are in place and new version of Brave is installed. Other browsers are installed and working properly.
