Description of the issue:
- Brave closes itself after trying to do the following:
Searching anything on the task bar - trying to access brave settings like history, settings, tools etc.
- trying to install brave or import settings/bookmarks
Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): 1. 2. 3.
In my case, this happened for no aparent reason.
- I first started my pc like always, no problems, no issues.
- I started brave for the first time in today’s session, then noticed how it just, shut off on me.
- Tried opening brave in administrator mode, didn’t work.
- Tried opening brave in incognito/guest, DID work!
- But ONLY WORKED within the same page, if I tried searching for something, like a link or a normal google search, it would immediately crash.
- Some parts of the configuration do not crash on me, like the main panel for configs, but thats it, if I accessed further, it would crash.
- Deleted cache and remade User Data folder, as well as disabling GPU. Nothing.
- Installed newest graphic drivers, nothing.
Actual Result (gifs and screenshots are welcome!):
Every time I tried searching on the internet, it would load it up for a bit, before just crashing the app.
Reproduces how often:
I have never encountered this issue before, everytime before this session, brave would normally launch, and let me do whatever I wanted with it. Today is the only day it started happening.
Operating System and Brave Version(See the About Brave page in the main menu):
Windows 11 home version 25H2, within an MSI Thin GF63 12VE. Brave version 1.88.130
Additional Information:
Just to resume everything, brave opens fine unless I try loading a website or search for anything. As well as trying to access brave settings, tools or configuration.
This only happens with brave, any other browser works just fine.
New update: If I click links from other browsers or text chats, brave loads the page correctly without crashing. It only crashes if I do things inside brave itself.
