I relaunched my brave browser and it is not rendering any graphics. I am not sure how to reproduce the issue. I have tried reinstalling brave multiple times and am still seeing the issue. In a previous post, with a similar issue, someone had suggested turning of hardware acceleration in the windows system. I did that as well and am still seeing the issue persist
Here is what it currently looks like:
I am not able to access the settings:
How did you do this? Did you change the launch target so it wouldn’t launch with GPU? Or did you change something in OS settings itself? Asking this especially since you’re saying can’t access settings.
Also will quote Mattches on another question here:
Also want to make sure, have you made sure to check for updates to drivers?
And are you downloading from https://brave.com/download or from another source?
NOTE
When asking about if you launched from command, I’m referencing:
Go to your desktop shortcut for Brave and right mouse click and choose Properties.
You’ll see something like below:
On the Target line you’ll see something like "C:\Program Files\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe" --profile-directory="Default"
Change the word Default to Test Profile So it would end up being something like:
"C:\Program Files\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe" --profile-directory="Test Profile"
Click Apply and then you can hit Ok. When you open that desktop shortcut, it should open your browser in a new profile, where the page will look like below:

I went to the graphics setting in the windows settings and turned off the hardware acceleration option
When you uninstall the browser, are you electing to remove the user/browsing data from the browser when prompted as well, or are you just uninstalling the app so that you can keep the user data?
I had kept the browser data when deleting the app. By deleting the browser data and reinstalling it, it worked to fix the issue. Thanks
