Seems to happen with Brave Browser updates.
Your previous posts:
For as-yet-unknown reasons - for some Brave Browser (Windows OS) users - Brave Browser updates seem to cause the loss, or apparent loss, of some parts/portions/segments of Brave Browser user data.
Some Brave Browser (Windows OS) users are NOT prepared to recover from data loss → by their maintaining routine, chronological backups of the User Data folder:
C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Local\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\User Data
My consolidated notes re the problem:
‘Brave deleted all my active tabs and favorites - #2 by 289wk’
They include:
Windows OS users, establish a daily routine of creating System Restore Points.
Automate Daily System Restore Point Creation
Enable System Protection
Press Win + R, type SystemPropertiesProtection, and press Enter
Under the Protection Settings list, enable protection for your system drive (usually C:) and allocate ~5-10% of space for restore points.
Create a PowerShell script to generate a restore point
Open Notepad, paste the following:
Checkpoint-Computer -Description "Automatic Restore Point" -RestorePointType "MODIFY_SETTINGS"
Save that as:
C:\Scripts\CreateRestorePoint.ps1
Schedule it
Open Task Scheduler → Create Task
Name: Automatic Restore Point
Triggers: Everyday at a convenient time
Actions:
Program/script: powershell.exe
Add arguments: -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "C:\Scripts\CreateRestorePoint.ps1"
Under Conditions, uncheck “Start the task only if the computer is on AC power” if you want it to run on laptops.
Under Settings, choose “Run task as soon as possible after a scheduled start is missed.”
You now have an automated Windows OS System Restore Point created daily.
