Browser only has a black/blank screen

**Description of the issue: When trying to open the Brave Browser, it just shows me a completely black screen. When I try the private browser, it shows a completely purple screen. I can’t see or do anything other than click where the X should be to close out the window. Sometimes the browser won’t even close. I tried to uninstall through windows add and remove programs, but it doesn’t work. I tried to just delete the files and redownload Brave, but the issues are still there.

**Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): Just try to open the browser. Nothing else.

**Actual Result (gifs and screenshots are welcome!):

**Expected result: to work like normal.

**Reproduces how often: every single time I click to open the browser.

**Operating System and Brave Version(See the About Brave page in the main menu): Windows 11 Home. Latest version on Brave (I uninstalled because I can’t use the Browser so I’m not sure what version this is).

**Additional Information: I updated windows last night and then the Browser stopped working. Not sure if this is related.

Never mind. I restarted my computer and then redownloaded brave. It seems to be working now

Still strange that that happened but glad you were able to get the browser to work. Please let us know if the issue (or any issue) occurs again.
