> [@siditgarg](#): > > \*\*What Operating System and Brave version are you using (`Menu --> About Brave`)?\*\*windows obv , latest i guess @siditgarg that isn’t an answer. I mean, you could be on Windows 7 with the “latest” for you but that would be years out of date. The specific version of an OS such as 7, 8, 10, 11, etc and then the detailed version of your browser like 1.23.456 is kind of very critical on knowing what might be happening and giving you proper instructions. Also should point out you put this in #Brave Rewards category when it’s kind of obvious you should have been in #Browser Support > Ad-Blocking . Putting things in the proper categories and providing the correct information is very important. You won’t get good help when you don’t. > [@siditgarg](#): > > it aint blocking ads properly even tho aggressively blocking ads is on mostly not blocking on spotify and yt So back to this, it’s good to know what version of everything you’re using. And then you should probably check `brave://components` and report back if you can update things there or if it gives you any error messages. Beyond that, good to know if you’re using extensions, if the issue happens in a private window, etc. ---

> [@siditgarg](#): > > no such component as Brave Ad Block Updater Hmm? Did you scroll down? Not sure they are always in the same order, but should be there. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/brave/original/3X/c/8/c8ed88ef19634426e1e99b10d9f34410205e8948.png) And if it truly isn’t on the list, then you may just want/need to install Brave on top of your current version to see if it patches things. So go to [https://brave.com/download/](https://brave.com/download/) and install on top. It won’t erase anything. > [@siditgarg](#): > > it shows updated error In terms of update errors, not sure if yours is the situation some others have had where it’s not accessible because of admin permissions. If so, you’d have to do similar to what is said at [https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/38609#issuecomment-2195847971](https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/38609#issuecomment-2195847971) While at it might want to make sure you’re not choosing to run Brave as admin. For example, if you right click the Brave shortcut on your desktop and choose **Properties** and then click on **Compatibility** it will look something like below. Make sure the `Run this program as an administrator` is not selected. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/brave/original/3X/7/4/745af95fc6ef35f1654ed3397cf4a26960f75312.png) ---
