Description of the issue:
Hello team, on one fine evening, when I came back to my PC today, I found that Brave had completely reset itself. All of my browsing history, downloads, and most saved data are gone. Only some bookmarks and a few passwords remain.
Steps to Reproduce (if known):
-
I was using Brave normally in the evening.
-
Left my PC rendering an animation.
-
When I returned, Brave had reset with no warning.
-
All History of the past, today, and everything was gone.
-
All my plugins are there, but they seem a bit disabled.
Actual Result:
Brave opened as if it were freshly installed. My profile data, history, and saved logins are missing. But it had saved my Google ID password, so I logged in from there. But some of the passwords are missing.
Expected Result:
Brave should retain my previous browsing profile, bookmarks, history, and passwords.
Brave Version (check brave://settings/help):
Brave 1.82.166 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Chromium: 140.0.7339.133
Operating System:
Microsoft Windows 10.0.26100.6584 (64-bit)
Additional Information:
I did not have sync or backups enabled, so I don’t know how to recover my data. Any help to restore the old profile would be appreciated. I don’t remember if I have any backup or sync saved. I am sure I don’t have sync. However, I’m unsure about the backup option, whether it exists or not, as I am unaware of its availability. Is it possible to retrieve all my previous data?
Appreciate your help, looking forward to hearing from you
Best regards.
