#29576: Tor Browser won't start

I am having the following issue when I try to start the Tor Browser.
The browser won't load, and I see the following message: "Tor unexpectedly
exited. This might be due to a bug in Tor itself, another program on your
system, or faulty hardware".
I have tried restarting my computer, and using Windows Task Manager to see
if the Tor Browser is already running in the background (it is not).
As suggested by the browser, I try to copy the Tor log to the clipboard,
but nothing is copied to the clipboard. I just see the message: 'copy
complete. 0 Tor log messages are ready to be pasted into a text editor or
an email message’.
I have included screenshots to show you what happens exactly.
I can't confirm which version of the Tor Browser it is because the Tor
Browser won't start, but I am almost certain that it is the most latest
version as I update whenever there is a new version. The Tor Browser only
stopped working on my computer a few days ago.
I would just uninstall the Tor Browser and re-install it, but I have some
bookmarks in there that I don't want to lose.
