Description

When installing Brave without admin, you'll notice that two windows are being launched. The first window will include the brave://welcome tab and the other window will have brave://newtab opened. @srirambv @bsclifton have reproduced this several times as well.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. download one of the latest stub installers for Win
  2. double click on the stub installer and select "No" under the UAC prompt
  3. click Yes when prompted Brave can be installed without admin privileges. Continue?

Once Brave is installed and launched, you'll notice two windows being launched.

Actual result:

twowindowsstub

Expected result:

Should only open brave://welcome in a single window. There shouldn't be two windows.

Reproduces how often:
