Hi there,
There’s a problem on my Win10 machine, starting with Torbrowser version 12 and following.
As soon as I connect a program, no matter which one, per socks, Torbrowser gets stuck indefinitely until restart.
Restarting only Tor doesn’t work, there’s no network or adapter problem, no firewall or router problem.
Behavior doesn’t change if I terminate all progs and connections, Tor stays in the state: “Proxy refusing connections”.
Even the connection log stops working and looks like that:

At this point the log stops and nothing happens for hours. Only thing I notice are messages in the Windows waiting chain for a few torbrowser instances: “waiting for network-E/A”
As soon as I go back to Version 11.x.x, everything works fine again.
Any ideas? Thanx and Greetings!
