If Tor Browser was working before and is not working now your system may have been hibernating. A reboot of your system will solve the issue. Delete Tor Browser and install it again. If updating, do not just overwrite your previous Tor Browser files; ensure they are fully deleted beforehand.

Why doesn't my Tor Browser connect?
You might be on a network that is blocking the Tor network, and so you should try using bridges. Some bridges are built in to Tor Browser and requires only a few steps to enable it. To use a pluggable transport, click "Configure Connection" when starting Tor Browser for the first time.
How do I make sure Tor is connected?
When you start Tor Browser, you will see the Connect to Tor window. This offers you the option to either connect directly to the Tor network, or to configure Tor Browser for your connection.
Why does Tor take so long to connect?
Why is the Tor Browser so slow? The Tor Browser is slow* because it routes data via three relays (servers) for your privacy. Regular connection, on the other hand, just connects you straight to the website/service, making it much faster.
