Hey, I currently have tor browser installed and when I start it the usual screen allows you to choose to connect. When I do it just stays on the establishing a connection screen for ages, never actually establishing a connection. On occasion when I start the browser it also tells me there has been an issue and Tor excited during startup.
OS: Edition Windows 10 Home
Version 22H2
Installed on 12/07/2021
OS build 19045.3803
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19053.1000.0
Newest tor browser verosin (reinstalled it that didn’t fix the issue)
Console in case of an issue during startup:
TorProvider: Cannot connect to the control port Error: The tor process exited before the first connection

Error: The tor process exited before the first connection
Console in case of always looking for a connection:

I have tried it in two networks, both of which are decently fast otherwise. The last time I had such an issue it was Windows Defender quarantining tor.exe but I made sure that wasn’t the issue this time. It did start once, but took ages. The console doe
Grateful for any help in fixing this
