Hi, I try using the newest version (v2.3.12.20) and the oldest version (v2.2.14.2) on the github release. But these version of program have same issues. How do I fix it?
My windows 10 (64 bit version) is up-to-date. Program folder is moved to the desktop.

Possible scenarios for the problem are listed in the warning. It is most likely that the tor.exe file is damaged.
Checksums of the file ./tor/tor.exe from version 2.3.12.20:
TCP-win32:
CRC32: B89EC6CF | MD5: D8A7BD4AFB1B95E39E5FAE23D18EBB3C | SHA-1: C2B86BEB1CC7A4BADDB103AC3630B34017473F23

TCP-win64:
CRC32: 2DCDC3EC | MD5: A5599EE9313152017F5E955C30902914 | SHA-1: 90117A27B6F5C17A4C7F88970E0C03C571E0CB28

You can find out the checksum through the Hashtab program or other alternatives

Possible causes of damage:

  • Intrusion of malware into the process of launching executable files
  • Interference by antivirus programs, including Windows Defender
  • Malfunctioning hard drive/RAM

If the checksums match and nothing is corrupted, try:

  • Run the file ./tor/tor.exe as a normal program and make sure that the tor console window launches without errors.
  • Delete the TOR.EXE-*.pf files from the C:\Windows\Prefetch folder and restart the Explorer process or computer
  • Move the program folder to another directory/drive
  • Remove (if any) third-party tor.exe process launch policies in the Windows registry:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\tor.exe

The program works 100% on Windows 10 x64, the problem is purely local.
