Install old Version of Brave without updates

Browser Support Desktop Support
1

Hi, I was told to do this: “If you still have the previous profile, it would probably be best to re-install the previous version of Brave, restore your profile, and then proceed to update the browser in the normal, supported manner.”

How can download and install brave-browser v1.14.84 without this old version automatically updating before I reload my old browser tabs?

Using Windows 10, 64 bit

From a Linux user perspective…
Go to github, find brave releases there, click on assets and download your preferred version ‘.exe’ file.

OK I have v1.14.84 installed. I am not trying to stop windows from updating anything, I am trying to stop Brave from updating.
Two questions if you don’t mind:

  1. How do I stop Brave (v1.14.84) from updating automatically?
  2. How do I recover my old tabs from the copy of the Brave Browser folder I made before the old browser crashed?

  1. As far I remember, Brave needed to be updated by using a button in “About Brave”.

  2. I really do not know how it works in Windows beyond “~/AppData/Local/BraveSoftware/”, but this link might be helpful.
