On launch my brave browser shows the brave advertisement page not the startup page how do i fix this?

Hello,

Upon launch, my Brave browser displays the Brave advertisement page instead of the New Tab Page. When I click on a new tab, it shows the expected (New Tab Page). I have checked the settings several times, as shown in other topic links. I have had this problem for over a year, but I thought I would give it another try to resolve it. How do I fix this?

I have compared the settings on both my computers, and they appear the same.

Windows 11 is running on both my systems.

Brave is up to date

Brave 1.79.126 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Chromium: 137.0.7151.119
