Having antivirus protection on your system is good.
If this problem persists, you can simply restart your system. Basically, if this occurs, what you do is that you go to your task manager and end task of the Tor browser to stop the app from running then you can open the app again. This situation occurs because the Tor browser is still running on the background, but you do not notice this as the app seems to be closed. This situation can be very frustrating some people even sit for so long, in the expectation that time would pacify the “vexed” Tor browser, but to no avail.

Having two files called tor.exe, one which is meant to be executed and the other not, does strike me as unnecessarily obscure.

It is a puzzle to me that the Tor Browser bundle contains a program called tor.exe, and installs it as a service, when the file is not meant to be a program you can actually run. ("Is it the correct executable? How would I know? How is one supposed to tell? The one I have won't even tell me what version it is.") And until then I wouldn't have known how to answer it. So I took the advice and downloaded the recommended package and the tor.exe in that package works perfectly, both from the command line and as a service.Ī.N.'s comment/question "is it the correct Tor executable?" was right on the money, though I didn't read that until after I had solved the problem.

I raised a ticket at the Tor project about this and got the following response:
