Check if antivirus is interfering with the new Bisq version. If that does not work try using another connection. ---

My antivirus is fine and so is my connection, if I open only a separate tor browser everything works ---

I’m having the same problem. I’ve tried everything… my Tor browser works normally, but the applications that use Tor show this error in all of them. ---

For those have tor issues like this on Windows, try uninstalling and reinstalling Bisq, without touching data directory ---

I suppose a workaround would be to move the data directory to another path outside of your home folder, with no diacritics, and start bisq with a custom parameter > **[Specify a different data directory path - Command line options - Bisq Wiki](https://bisq.wiki/Command_line_options#Specify_a_different_data_directory_path)** > > If you'd like to change the default path for the data directory altogether (e.g. to store the data directory on another drive), run Bisq with --appDataDir=/external/hard/drive/path. ---

Yes, but that’s not a solution. Because the installer has by default C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Bisq\ ---

I understand that the application itself launched but then it won’t start tor? since the tor files are in the data directory I would think my suggestion is still worth a try ---

The path without diacritics works. ---

just as a report, a user reported resolving this after reinstalling windows altogether ---

If you reinstall windows with diacritics name it won’t help. ---

Hi. I have the same problem. Win10 64bit. Neither reinstalling it in a different directory nor changing any settings or uninstalling my antivirus software has worked. Even Bisq v1.10.1 didn’t provide the solution I was hoping for. Tor, via the Tor Browser, works. [Next page](https://bisq.community/t/bisq-v1-10-0-tor-not-working/13748.md?page=2)
