Hi! I’ve been struggling to find a fix for this issue for the past day or 2 now. I recently upgraded my OS from Windows 10 to Windows 11. I’ve tried many things and never been able to fix them. When I was on Windows 10, I never had this issue. Then, once I upgraded to Windows 11, it started happening. When navigating to the page “brave://components/”, I can see that I have 15 available components, but 10 of them are not up-to-date, nor are any versions of them downloaded. When attempting to click the “Check for update” button, it says “Checking” then goes back to saying “Update error.” The following components are the ones not working: Zxcvbn Data Dictionaries, OnDeviceHeadSuggest, Brave Ad Block Resources Library, File Type Policies, Safety Tips, Hyphenation, Brave Ad Block List Catalog, Certificate Error Assistant, PKI Metadata, and NTP Background Images. I have already attempted to redownload Brave Browser multiple times, used multiple different VPNs, connected to a new network, run Brave Browser as administrator, and created a new profile. Information: Brave 1.88.136 (Official Build) (64-bit) Chromium: 146.0.7680.164 Windows 11 Pro | Version: 23H2 - OS Build: 22631.5624 If any information is needed, please let me know. I can provide any logs or attempt to do anything that may help fix this issue. Thanks, Mia. ---

Does disabling _all_ VPN connections make any difference in downloading the components? ---

Can you please launch Brave and go to `brave://version` and then copy/paste or share a screenshot of the top section as shown below? ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/brave/original/3X/c/a/caa0c682c53747e4279e28f88fafbe2395b9ea73.png) ---

Hi! I just fixed the issue, well a friend did lol. All he did was disable UAC and it started working just fine. Thank you for attempting to help! \<3 . . . For those of you who are experiencing the same issues as I, try disabling UAC (User Account Controls) to see if it works. ---
