Brave crashes instantly after opening it I’m not sure how this happened, It worked the previous night but now it wont launch I have the latest version I have tried almost every troubleshooting method on here and nothing works.

Chrome works but brave and firefox stopped working. Seems like firefox is also breaking for other users in this thread

I am having the issue on W11 with the 22000.376 co_release build (KB5008215 I think). I’m unsure if Firefox is having the same issue because I don’t have it installed but, edge and chrome work. Edit: Firefox isn’t working two! They just kinda close because for a moment I can see the Firefox homepag…

Still investigating. If you create a new windows user (and login into that) and launch Brave/Firefox from that, does it change anything? Also force close every application in the system tray.

Damm, at this point I would just clean install windows. 99% issue fixed 1% the issue persist(should we expect anything else from windows?)

Changing the brave.exe file name totally fixed it for me. Although when I changed the file name the shortcuts broke. Icons worked again once I created a new shortcut.

dude no way it worked!!! thanks so much!!!

Thanks this worked! Why’d it break to start, that’s so weird…
