How is the Tor operation using Windows 11?

I'm curious about how the Tor browser operates on Windows 11 and whether there are any specific steps or considerations I should be aware of when setting it up. I want to understand if there are any compatibility issues, performance differences, or security features that work differently on Windows 11 compared to other operating systems, so I can ensure a smooth and secure browsing experience.

    Tor is designed to prioritize privacy and anonymity, and on Windows 11, it can operate smoothly if installed correctly. However, Windows 11’s security features like Windows Defender, SmartScreen, and other built-in protections might occasionally interfere with Tor’s functioning or require additional configuration, such as creating exceptions or running the browser with administrator privileges.
