I have configured Tor to run as a Windows service, it seems to be working as it is producing logs. I have configured it to run on 9990. I have configured Firefox proxy to use it, however when I check my configuration at https://check.torproject.org, it fails and shows my actual IP. I am running Windows 10 and ESET Smart Security. I have tried running it on default port by commenting out "+SocksPort 9990" but still the same results.
Following are the log and configuration:
