No longer getting certain ads

For the last two months i have been receiving ads from my PC at home and laptop in the office. Since the start of July the only ads i see are the Notification adds. Strangely with exactly the same settings my laptop also gets New Tab page ads, but the PC at home doesn’t. Neither of them are getting any Brave News Ads. If i go to the components page it shows everything up to date, except for Brave Ads Resources (ZA) - Version: 0.0.0.0
Status - Update error. on both machines. Is there anything i can do to get it to udate

Win 11 and Win 10 - Brave is up to date Brave 1.80.115 (Official Build) (64-bit) Chromium: 138.0.7204.97

Uphold

Yes

I think they’ve stopped putting ads in the news feed. I don’t get them anymore either. Seem to recall reading about it recently on here, likely in a @Saoiray update.

@tmstiles out of curiosity, do all the other components update fine or do others have errors?

All the others update just fine. Just that one comes up with error. On the machine that doesnt get new tab pages as well, i have done a complete uninstall, removed all traces of Brave, then reinstalled. Still only getting notification ads on that one. Checked components again and Brave Ads Resources (ZA) - Version: 0.0.0.0 still gives update error. All others are up to date

Any ideas? still getting the errors on update and still no new page ads for the one machine

Nothing?? or is this beyond mortal ken

@tmstiles part of why I tag is so it does a notification. I haven’t received notifications on your replies, so I didn’t realize you replied and forgot about the topic.

Honestly not sure what to say, especially if it’s only that one having problems. Part of me wants to tell you to try as instructed at Brave doesn't start when I run it as administrator and Brave Shield doesn't work - #41 by clifton just in case it’s related.

Otherwise to say just to export passwords and other data, uninstall Brave (making sure to choose the delete history box that comes up when uninstalling), and then install Brave fresh.

Beyond that, I guess would be more up to @Evan123 or one of the others from Brave to try to help.

Thanks, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and clearing all traces of the previous installation, Also tried the ownership change as in your suggestion, but still nothing. I have tried installing on a number of PC’s and all of them will not update

Brave Ads Resources (ZA) - Version: 0.0.0.0

Status - Update error

So i am wondering if it is a South African problem, if there are any other saffers out their who could maybe confirm

If you install Brave Beta, do you see this issue?

The Beta has the same issue
