Private window with Tor trouble, blinking blue circle

Description of the issue:
I’m new to using Brave. I tried to open a private window with Tor and it says Tor is not active. I’m using Windows 10 and a VPN.

Furthermore my mouse cursor shows a blinking blue “thinking” circle after I try the private Tor window until I exit Brave.
