  • Instead of discussing what an Operating System is supposed or not to do, provide answers that solve the problem, maybe pointing out their respective advantages and disadvantages. Users who encounter problems want a solution first, not a philosophical discussion about what you personally think is a bug or a feature.

Do not try to install Tor Browser into global directories, these require Administrator permissions to write to.

Instead install it to somewhere that your user account owns, like your Desktop or a similar location, this avoids the requirement for administrator privileges. Nothing about using Tor Browser should require administrator privileges and it would be needlessly dangerous to provide it them.

  • exactly, because I have had One Drive sync, some directories and files have been synced with my current hard drive. So, it seems I tried reinstalling my tor on the same path. So, it has worked out, thank you
