Workaround for Windows 7 Blank screen:

  1. Find the shortcut for Brave (generally on Desktop), right-click and select Properties from the context menu.

  2. Click into the “Target” field, and type --disable-gpu at the end of the path. Note that you must type this outside of the quotes with a space between the flag and quotes .

  3. Click Apply then OK then open the modified shortcut you just created.

  4. Assuming this worked and you’re able to view Brave, open the main menu on the top-right

  5. Navigate to Settings --> Advanced --> System --> Hardware Acceleration

DISABLE HARDWARE ACCELERATION.

Restart browser. It will work.
Now again go to the shortcut and Remove “–disable-gpu”.
now it works. smooth.
