Comment (by boklm):

 When looking at `Logfile_v9.0.7_win64_fail_hl.PML` I see that it contains
 the string `C:\Windows\System32\libssl-1_1-x64.dll`.

 So it looks like libssl is loaded from the Windows system directory
 instead of the Tor Browser directory.

 When looking at:
 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/dlls/dynamic-link-library-
 search-order
 `The directory from which the application loaded` is first, so I don't
 know why it is not loaded from Tor Browser's directory.

 However in `Factors That Affect Searching` they also say:
   If the DLL is on the list of known DLLs for the version of Windows on
 which the application is running, the system uses its copy of the known
 DLL (and the known DLL's dependent DLLs, if any) instead of searching for
 the DLL. For a list of known DLLs on the current system, see the following
 registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
 Manager\KnownDLLs.

 Maybe libssl is part of the known DLLs?
