Brave leaving blank screens o desktop and instances of himself on memory #41489

Open Riotamus opened 1 month ago

Riotamus commented 1 month ago

Description

I was experiencing persistent white screens on my desktop, as if some application was bugged. Then I noticed that after closing Brave, multiple instances of the program were still active. I tried to close them (task bar) and started getting extension errors. The instances would close and reopen again, and only by restarting the computer did they disappear.https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/1e47602e-b786-4aa4-9d95-e1456aedff0e

Steps to reproduce

  1. there's no step, brave is letting many instances of himself in memory even after closed

Hello. I also have the problem with the white windows that block the desktop. I experienced this error with version 1.70.117. I have now tested 1.70.123 and the error still occurs.

The last version that worked for me without the white windows is 1.69.168

Using Brave Portable on Windows 10.

Have a nice day.

Riotamus commented 1 month ago

Since last reset, on computer, this behavior stop. My close window when closing last tab is disabled, i use a extension to prevent close last tab. If this error occur again I'm gonna disable him to see. Ty for your help.

Update, if i start closing instances of brave, starting for the last not the first on task managem list, it close all the tabs. Done this already 2 times and works. Let's see if it keep closing all the instances of brave on task manager.
