Very weird, this is the TBB direct from Tor.
Trojan:Win32/Malgent!MTB
…Tor Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Tor\tor.exe
And it links to : https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/threats/malware-encyclopedia-description?name=Trojan%3AWin32%2FMalgent!MTB&threatid=2147836816
Anyone else having issues with TBB?

Tor on windows lol
Classic Microsoft. They regularly use defender to harrass users of software they don’t like.
Yeah, I don’t see the issue in the Tor Forum, but I see other people reporting it on Reddit.
I’ve verified the TBB signatures, its a authentic app from Tor.
Guess its another iteration of : https://support.torproject.org/tbb/antivirus-false-positive/
Just weird to see it from Windows Defender
I wouldn’t call that weird. Microsoft’s track record for anything involving security is absolutely atrocious, to a point where you now have to assume everything in azure and every single windows computer is compromised: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37702095

Upload to virus total and show the result. Also its not a good idea to run Tor on windows.
Why not
Because windows is full of telemetry and has lots of malware developed for it.
Not to mention the NSA will know you visited the Tor page and have Tor installed.
Its best to use it from Tails
if the NSA knows I shitpost on dread then why do my posts have zero likes?
But doesn’t NSA also by that logic know that you have visited Tails download page and have downloaded the ISO at some point?

The rest are green.
It has been mentioned in the tor forums: https://forum.torproject.org/t/new-release-tor-browser-12-5-6/9451/5
Why do you use Tor? Just use regular Firefox, it’s much faster. Doesn’t have all that privacy-bloat, you don’t need that with Windows anyways
