My Brave browser stopped working and will not open

I have used the Brave browser for a couple of years now. Out of nowhere I am unable to open it. I reinstalled it today but it still is not opening. I click on it and nothing happens. Using Windows 11 on a laptop.

Description of the issue:

Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): 1. 2. 3.

Reproduces how often:

Operating System and Brave Version(See the About Brave page in the main menu):

Additional Information:

@Barbjo what Brave version are you using? Do you have any new extensions?

132.1.74.50 according to my control panel.

I turned on my pc after some days, and I have the same issue. The Brave Nightly just won’t start, no matter if I reinstalled it.

Software

  • Windows 11 Pro: 24H2, build 26100.2894, Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.36.0, installed on 2024-‎12-‎23
  • Brave Nightly Version: 133.1.77.5 (after reinstall, didn’t check previous installed version).

Hardware

  • Processor AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D 8-Core Processor 3.00 GHz
  • Installed RAM 32.0 GB
  • Graphics Card: RTX 3070

I have come to the conclusion, as I did with the Edge browser, that nobody cares since I have yet to receive a solution to the oodles of problems I have tried to get help with. Microsoft has zero support, which is why I switched to Brave. What is the purpose of a forum or a support page when nobody bothers to assist. Hope you get an answer.
