Description of the issue: After the win11 update a month ago the browser would lock up on opening, the whole UI turns grey and windows asks if I want to wait for the process or kill it.
Everything in the browser starts working normally, but are not interactable.
The browser takes from 2 to 15 minutes to stabilize on the currently open window and lets me interact with it for a few seconds before locking up again, switching tabs or windows lock up the browser again and I need to wait again.
These freezes are accompanied by “Desktop Window Manager” stressing the GPU to 50-90% load.
Clearing the appdata folder eliminates the problem but also gets rid of the tabs I need for my workflow.
Is there a way to get the open pages from a session to move them to a new session without using the browser, or to check the appdata for malformed data?
How can this issue be reproduced?
- Have many tabs open.
- Let windows update itself.
- Open brave.
Expected result: Browser opens itself and loads the last tabs I had open and starts working normally like it did before the update.
Brave Version( check About Brave): Can not open the browser
