Tor Browser does not start - it could be because of that

Thanks to the Tor browser, you surf the Internet anonymously. If the browser does not start, there are several ways to fix the error. This practical tip tells you what you can do.

Tor browser does not start - what to do?

• You can try starting the Tor Browser as an admin. To do this, right-click on the shortcut and select "Run as administrator".
• Also make sure you have the latest version of Tor Browser installed.
• We generally recommend that you use the Tor browser package, since all data is available here.
• If the Tor Browser is already on your PC, uninstall it and then remove all remaining files and folders manually. Then install the Tor browser package and try again. The error should not occur again now.
• The start of Tor may also be blocked by the firewall or an anti-virus program. For this reason, switch these services off as a test. If you can then start the browser without any problems, we will show you how you can release Tor in the firewall and in your antivirus.
