 For  existing and new connections. When using WIndows Tor expert bundle
 can  not change the IP Exit Node?

 The supported way of doing SIGNAL NEWNYM is with Tor Browser.
 It works in Tor Browser.
 It works using other control port clients, like stem:

 I can't help you with tor configuration or control port programming on
 this ticket system, because as far as I can tell there's no tor bug here:
 the bug is in your code.
