Hi Can you tell us more about your setup, please? - Which version of Burp Suite Community have you downloaded? - Are you using the installed version, or are you launching the JAR file from the CLI? - What OS are you using?

To provide some background on this, the embedded browser is a modified version of Chromium. Unfortunately, Google no longer supports running Chrome/Chromium on some older Windows operating systems, and the Windows 7 operating is one of those operating systems affected, as detailed in the announcement by Google below: https://support.google.com/chrome/thread/185534985/sunsetting-support-for-windows-7-8-8-1-and-windows-server-2012-and-2012-r2-in-early-2023?hl=en Are you able to use a machine with a more up-to-date version of Windows?
