I actually had the same issue. I just did a quick and dirty fix by rename the profile. I didn’t really investigate why it did it, I just wanted a working browser asap. You could try clearing the cache/cookies and disabling all the extensions to see if it helps?

Otherwise this is what did:

  1. Exit Brave (confirm by closing any Brave tasks in Task manager)
  2. Go into C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\BraveSoftware
  3. rename the brave folder name ending with -bak
  4. Re-run Brave, this will setup the files/directorys. (check Twitter is okay here).
  5. Now close the Brave again.
  6. Copy over the following files from the -bak folder into your new brave folder
    Bookmarks
    Cookies
    Favicons
    History
    Top Sites
    Login Data

You can try other files one-by-one see, copying them from your old -bak profile into your new profile.

I hope that helps.
