@Soggy55 if it’s related to the new issue then you would need to do two things:
- Make sure you aren’t running as administrator. It seems a lot of people changed this setting for some reason. So not only in the idea of not right clicking and launch, but make sure you also right click on the Brave icon → Properties → Compatibility and make sure you don’t have
Run this program as an administratorchecked.
- Change the folder permissions like Clifton mentioned around Brave doesn't start when I run it as administrator and Brave Shield doesn't work - #41 by clifton.
I’m assuming yours is going to be related to that and should resolve with the two. But if not then might need to check your antivirus/firewall to see if they are blocking. We could also start toying around commands to open new profile, rename folders, etc. But let’s just start with the above.
