How do I manually submit crash reports?

After you click the “Send Now” button, return to brave://crashes and gather up the Crash Report ID numbers that end with a string of zeros. Post the numbers, here, in a new reply. Example of a Crash Report ID number:

TRY: Start up Brave Browser (Windows OS) - unburdened - using the Brave Browser shortcut on your computer’s Desktop.
For the following Changed Path , the switches are intended to:
Start up Brave Browser, using the “Default” named user Profile folder [--profile-directory="Default"]
Showing a New Private Window [--incognito]
Disable all experiments at brave://flags [--no-experiments]
Disable extensions [--disable-extensions]
Disable hardware (GPU) ie Graphic Acceleration [--disable-gpu]
Changed Path :
64 architecture, system level installation:
"C:\Program Files\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe" --profile-directory="Default" --incognito --no-experiments --disable-extensions --disable-gpu
x86 architecture, system level installation:
"C:\Program Files(x86)\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe" --profile-directory="Default" --incognito --no-experiments --disable-extensions --disable-gpu
64 / x86 architecture, user level installation (NOTE: you must substitute your Windows OS user account name for [UserName]):
"C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Local\BraveSoftware\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe" --profile-directory="Default" --incognito --no-experiments --disable-extensions --disable-gpu
Notice that the existing path, BEFORE the additions, is enclosed by double-quote marks. And, everything added, is located AFTER the existing path.

It doesn’t help. This method made Brave work worse than before, now it’s closing right after run

Apologies for not getting back to you. Try adding some more commands to the strings mentioned above; string:
--enable-leak-detection --crash-on-failure 2> %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\brave_console_out.txt
Possibly the brave_console_out.txt file will have useful info. Example of complete command:
64 architecture, system level installation:
"C:\Program Files\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe" --profile-directory="Default" --incognito --no-experiments --disable-extensions --disable-gpu --enable-leak-detection --crash-on-failure 2> %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\brave_console_out.txt

OP cannot get Brave Browser (Windows OS) to run long enough, and well enough, in order to produce Crash ID numbers (ending in string of “0”'s) that you require.
Modified Brave Browser desktop Shortcut approach , results in a quick close, after run attempt .
For future reference, %homepath% is better and more universal. No matter the username, that tells Windows you mean the logged in users home directory and from there can build on it. Like this:
Far better than telling users to replace things with their user directory name (not everyone knows theirs).
Likewise:
(There’s far more of these shortcuts in Windows actually.)
