Widevinecdm PROBLEM! TOO HARD TO SOLVE!

Brave Browser Version: 1.1.20 Chromium: 79.0.3945.74 (Official Build) (64-bit)
OS: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro Version 10.0.18362 Build 18362

When i open hulu or netflix in Brave. I am prompted for the first time to allow WideVineCDM and i choose allow. I am not prompted to install the plug-in. There is no “puzzle piece” at the top of the browser. I feel like I have exhausted all the steps in this thread and still do not havea fix yet. I even tried opening a guest profile and was prompted a second time to allow the CDM, which I did. CDM is set to “Ask when site wants to install widevine on your computer” in my settings. If I open components it’s not on the list to “check for updates” implying that it is not installed.

Please send help.
