Desktop Shorcuts stopped working

Hey All,

I moved from chrome to brave since a lot of people were saying it’s cooler, shifted all my stuff to brave.

Me, a big fan of shortcuts, created shortcuts to all the websites I visit on a daily basis, a week later, it stops working, couldn’t find any solution, so I just deleted them and recreated every single one (takes hours), another week later, today, all the shortcuts stop working, what the fu#k brave?
I would really appreciate any help, it’s pissing me off

When the shortcuts stop working, the icons are they white in color or they show Brave icon? What happens when you click on them ? Nothing?

the icons don’t change, they just open up an empty tab of brave

A solution is suggested here for the same type of problem https://www.tenforums.com/browsers-email/113201-desktop-shortcuts-no-longer-work.html
The solution was to rebuilt the windows icon cache https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/5645-rebuild-icon-cache-windows-10-a.html its for w10 but also can be applied for w11 https://www.elevenforum.com/t/rebuild-icon-cache-in-windows-11.2049/
