I’m using Brave for 2 years now and did not activate Rewards until yesterday. First, I activated it on my MacBook and immediately started seeing ads and get rewards. Wish I could make it earlier.
Today though, I turned on Rewards on my Windows 11 computer and nothing happens. No ads, nothing.
I’ve made some research and saw lots of people also having the same problem, most of them are not mentioning Win 11 but they say that also they can’t get any ads and none of them got a proper solution about their problem from Brave team or anyone.
As far as my research goes, I have done every step. I’m in a supporting country, made the modifications regarding Focus Assist and Notifications center, not running any fullscreen videos or media, no VPN activated, no flagged wallet, chose 10 ads per hour.
I disconnected my PS5 controller from my PC and got my first ad. I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or not. I got 2 ads since then. Did not receive any ads before.
I saw an entry on Common Reasons For Not seeing ads on this page and thought about it.
I don’t know for sure if that caused my ads to work again or not but I’m definitely going to test it. Also I will try the possible workaround on this entry.
