  One possible solution is to check if your Tor service is running properly. You can do this by opening the Tor Browser and clicking on the onion icon in the top-left corner. From there, select 'Tor Network Settings' and make sure the 'Tor is running' message is displayed. If not, try restarting the Tor service or reinstalling the Tor Browser. This should help resolve any connection issues with the Tor control port.

  If you're using a VPN or a firewall, it's possible that they are blocking the connection to the Tor control port. Try disabling them temporarily and see if that resolves the issue. Additionally, make sure that your antivirus software is not interfering with the Tor connection. Sometimes, antivirus programs can mistakenly flag Tor as a potential threat and block its access. Whitelisting Tor in your antivirus settings may help.
