Can't get Brave Nightly to work for a sustained length of time

Brave Browser Beta Releases:
https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/releases?q=beta&expanded=true

Brave Browser Nightly Releases:
https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/releases?q=nightly&expanded=true

Brave Browser Stable Releases:
https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/blob/master/CHANGELOG_DESKTOP.md


You downloaded Brave Browser Nightly:
https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/releases/tag/v1.92.92

Why?

And, please provide your computer architecture: Settings → System and then About (bottom left corner). It should be listed under Device Specifications ← scroll to that, and look for System type (example: 64‑bit operating system, x64‑based processor)


The Brave Browser Stable Release will typically be at one of:

64 architecture, system level installation:
C:\Program Files\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe

x86 architecture, system level installation:
C:\Program Files(x86)\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe


I suspect that you have Brave Browser Stable Release installed -AND- you also have Brave Browser Nightly installed.

If 64 architecture, Brave Browser Nightly should be here:

C:\Program Files\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser-Nightly\Application\brave.exe


Brave Browser Stable Release - User Data:

Brave Browser Nightly Release - User Data:

Windows OS: C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Local\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser-Nightly\User Data\[profile_folder_name]

The actual Profile folder names for [profile_folder_name] would be:

  • Default
  • Profile 1
  • Profile 2
  • Profile n [where n is the next increment: 3, 4, . . . etc.]
