<p>There are some know issues with windows.</p>
<p>Can you try to backup your data directory and then delete  the app data directory or uninstall the Bisq app. Then re-install again. If you uninstall the data directory gets deleted as well, so if you used Bisq before you need to move over your backup directoy.</p>
<p>Another reason can be AV software. Some are deleting files from the installation or data directory.</p>
<p>Another is that at installation time the AV software stops Tor and then there is a pending locked file which cannot be deleted by another process. An OS restart resolves that.</p>
<p>All those issues are known since a while but happen not often. If you are a developer and experienced with Windows, maybe you can help to get those fixed.</p>
