 I am on Windows 8.1 x64, not running an anti-virus app, or the firewall.
 I have Tor 6.0.7
 it was working fine, but something I have error "Could not connect to Tor
 control port"
 Tried install new Tor in another folder and fine work, but after some time
 I get the same error message.
 I tried
 Start a Command Prompt (cmd.exe) and cd to Tor Browser\Browser (the folder
 that contains firefox.exe).
 At the command prompt, type: firefox -console -jsconsole

 And nothing. Nothing error logs, but Tor not running and I get same error
 message.

 After shutdown system Tor fine work. But after some time, after close and
 reopen Tor window I get same error - "could not connect to Tor control
 port"
