    Hello @ MS_User - If you just installed Tor and it's the first time you're trying to connect to the network, it can take some time. Once I waited a good 15-20 minutes to connect. That being said, it wouldn't surprise me if some ISP's are blocking Tor network nodes. I'll check on DSL Reports and see if anyone else is having the same issue with AT&T.

    Latest Tor bundle is installed properly? You have tried it as admin?
    Make sure communication through port 9150 via SOCKS v5 protocol is possible. Tor uses it. (check anti-virus programs, firewall, web protection etc.) Also check the Tor log.
    Since version 7 Tor runs inside a sandbox. Maybe try an older version to check if it might be an issue.

    Alternatively connect to another ISP for a test if it's OS or ISP related.
    You could use the netstat command.
