Brave Version( check About Brave): Brave 1.87.190
Cannot change my search engine. Restarted my PC to update [(2026-02 Security Update (KB5077181) (26100.7840)] and was logged out of multiple websites (excluding gmail for some reason?) and now stuck using Brave search engine.
Looks like your search engines cleared out as well – this is a known issue we’re working on addressing presently:

Users are reporting again that all the search engines in the browser are being cleared out, with the exception of Brave Search. This is more or less the same issue we had last year:
https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/44219
Issue seems to be specific to Windows users. We have seen a handful of user's report this issue again:
