Every time I open the browser it closes again directly

Brave Rewards

Hi @alex28m

Sorry that you’ve ran into some problems. I have some ideas on how to help

If you’re a new user (ex: you have never ran Brave sucessfully before), let’s try a few things.

  • Open up add/remove programs (Windows + R, paste in appwiz.cpl and hit enter) and uninstall all versions of Brave (sounds like you had regular one and Beta). If asked in a modal during uninstall, if you’re OK deleting your profile you tick the box to delete the data on uninstall
  • Windows + R, paste in %LOCALAPPDATA%\BraveSoftware and hit enter
  • If you didn’t already delete the profile folders and you WANT to keep them, rename the folders. You should see Brave-Browser and you can rename as Brave-Browser2. Or if you don’t want to keep the data, delete it
  • Visit https://brave.com/download and download latest release channel
  • Install again
  • Launch fresh - let us know! Did this resolve the issue?
