 When I try to connect to Tor through command line (Windows 10):

 {{{
 "C:\Tor Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Tor\tor.exe" -f "C:\Tor
 Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Data\Tor\torrc" | more
 }}}

 I get the following error:

 {{{

 Tor **works normally when** I use the Tor Browser (not the command line)
 with no problem using the same Bridge provided within the ''torcc''
 configuration file.

 I'm sure that bridges are working (not blocked) because when I run Tor
 Browser, connection is established with no problems. I believe something
 is missing in order to make the command line work successfully.

 **Notes:**
 ▪ Only it gives me errors when I use Tor over the command line, while it's
 working succesfully with no problems on the Tor Browser.
 ▪ I have tried switching bridges (All of them work normally when I use the
 Tor Browser, but don't work while using command line). So, switching
 Bridges isn't a solution, there is something missing with the command line
 usage.

 **Further Notes:**
 There is a question seems to be the same, asking about the similar error
 message:
 • [https://tor.stackexchange.com/questions/4727/cant-connect-tor-network-
 failed-to-establish-network Can't connect Tor Network, failed to establish
 network]

 My question is different as it's about not being able to use Tor through
 command-line with bridges I'm sure they are not blocked (because they are
 working on Tor Browser within the same computer).

 I am looking for using Tor (with Bridge) over the command line (without
 the need to start Tor Browser) and make connection established
 successfully through command line.
