Red line is tangent to big circle. Small circle is there to identify center point easily. Two circles and red line are not in a group. I want red tangent line around the big circle. Therefore I activated the Rotate tool and Alt+Click at center of the circle but Pop-up Window doesn't appear. How to fix it? File & Video also uploaded.
to move the Rotate Tool you could make a "Floating" tool bar
1. click and hold the Rotate Tool for a couple of seconds until the Tool menu shows up
2. click on small arrow to the right of the menu to make a floating menu
3. move the Tool Bar anywhere you want

in the video it seems you're doing Ctrl+Click instead of Alt+Click

Never, I tried many times with Alt+Click.

you're on Windows right?
ok, then I think something is interfering with your keyboard. When you press Alt, the cursor should not change to a black pointer.
When you press Ctrl key while you have the Rotation Tool active, the cursor should change to the last Selection Tool used, that's a feature.
when you press Alt, does the Message below change to "Selection"?

When was the last time you rebooted the computer?
Rebooting can fix a lot of things.

Windows update comes only I reboot my computer. I assume if update to take effect you have reboot the computer. It was rebooted long before the above glitch.

Desktop computer systems are not made to run 24/7.
You want to reboot them regularly.

I completely agree with Monika, re starting takes care of those inexplicable glitches most times.

I didn't restart but put the computer on hibernate state. I don't think hibernate and restart is same.
