https://github.com/torproject/tor/blob/dad12188a6ca957f6fde1eb602fd98b2fa93b1a4/src/or/connection.c#L913
calls bind and returns WSAEACCESS . Whilst there is a log_warn line here,
this log attempt does not turn up in the browser log ( I managed to get
this by running a system call tracer and see the text string getting
passed around).

something in windows defender or similar is kicking in and silently
blocking it, although if that's the case, I didn't manage to work out what
the other day.

might be a good case here to raise a new bug that the log's are not
turning up in the torbrowser logs [making it hard to spot this issue ;)]
Where do you get the browser log from? Note, that you can tune the
granularity of the tor log messages and where to put them in your `torrc-
defaults` (https://gitweb.torproject.org/builders/tor-browser-
build.git/tree/projects/tor-browser/Bundle-Data/windows/Data/Tor/torrc-
defaults) which is in your bundle under Browser\TorBrowser\Data\Tor.
Alternatively, you could copy the expert bundle over (can be found on
https://www.torproject.org/download/download.html.en) which should give
you a console with log messages. Let us know how that goes as we are
curious about what is going on here.
