Comment (by gk):

 Okay, let's try finding out something with a debug build. I created one
 based on ESR 60.5.0 with accessibility support:

 https://people.torproject.org/~gk/testbuilds/torbrowser-install-win64-tbb-
 nightly_en-US_27503_6050.exe
 https://people.torproject.org/~gk/testbuilds/torbrowser-install-win64-tbb-
 nightly_en-US_27503_6050.exe.asc

 Could someone affected by this bug run it and attach the log output here
 reproducing the issue in comment:13? I hope we see some assertions in it
 that might give us a hint at what is going on and where to look closer.

 Note: you might need to start Tor Browser several times until it finally
 starts up: once due to a crash on first start and the second time due to a
 bug in network status parsing on Windows which stalls the Tor startup.
