Comment (by JohnnyFrog):

 I managed to solve this "bug".
 Actually it's not really a bug, but it is just a question of permissions.

 To solve this problem you have to assign to the Tor folder the Full
 Control to Users group in Windows 10.

 In fact, if you extract tor files in a Tor folder located in C:\ you
 probably won't have this problem of permissions (it depends on how are the
 permissions set on your computer), but if you extract these files in a tor
 folder located in C:\Windows you'll probably get this problem and you will
 need to apply the permissions to Users group.
