Description of the issue:
• I have 3 computers and it’s the same with all 3. Brave is installed and working. Suddenly the next day I turn my computer “ON”, Brave doesn’t open anymore. I remove Brave from my computers, do a restart, clean histories and cookies with CCleaner, Internet Option and This PC properties clean the disk. I defrag from time to time, but the cleaning is done every day when I turn “ON” my computers. I don’t have this issue with Chrome, DuckDuckgo, or Firefox. It’s hard to keep Brave up and running from day to day. Is it because I overclean my cache, history and cookies that could be doing this? It doesn’t happen with the other browsers.
Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary):
• Remove Brave
• Restart computer
• Do a full cleaning of caches, history and cookies.
• Re-download Brave.
• Re-install Brave.
• Re-start the computer again.
• Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.
Actual Result (gifs and screenshots are welcome!):
• All are explained above and below.
Expected Result:
• Brave to work and remain working like it used to but not anymore.
Reproduces how often:
• Very often on all 3 of my computers.

Reproducible on current live release (yes/no):
• Don’t know
Additional Information:
• It never used to do this, it started about a year ago. It seems to happen when there is a Windows update but then I paused them, and the problem still remains. I am about to toss Brave into the recycling bin if you don’t offer a permanent fix and will go back to DuckDuckGo which also doesn’t sell your info to third parties, but I prefer Brave, I can do more with it than any other Browsers.
