Windows 10 - build:19042.867 -- Tor Browser: Could not bind to 127.0.0.1:9150: Permission denied [WSAEACCES ]
This problem appeared after the Windows update and now in this version of Windows I can not use Tor. (both Alpha and Stable)

New installed in the default directory. (Desktop)
Edition Windows 10 Pro
Version 20H2
OS build 19042.867
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.551.0
I also looked at netstat -a -o -n -b
and have no active/inactive 9150.
I added the following lines in Desktop\Tor Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Data\Tor\torrc
or Desktop\Tor Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Data\Tor\torrc-defaults
:
SocksListenAddress 127.0.0.1:9050
SocksPort 9050
But:

Then, looking at this Issue, I realized that I need to add this line in Desktop\Tor Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Data\Browser\profile.default\prefs.js
:
user_pref("network.proxy.socks_port", 9050);
It works this way. But I am just one person.
