Gimp 2.10.30 on windows 10 64bit. When adjusting an image and resizing it and scaling it from 300dpi to 72dpi Gimp freezes, grays out and says "no longer responding".  I have to close Gimp to continue and of course lose everything that hasn't been saved. Thanks for any help in fixing this glitch. Love my Gimp! Been using it for can't remember when!

And this has never happened to you before?
Happens to me a lot, (not while changing dpi because that I never have done) but 'no longer responding' while running some filter. Just need to have a little patience and it usually starts to respond again. If it starts it usually finishes I find.

I've used GIMP for ages but this has never happened with previous builds only the latest. Patience doesn't work either, 10 minutes and restart GIMP is the only solution. BTW, I have a very fast computer.

I actually uninstalled 2.10.30 and reinstalled .28. It still freezes. It did not freeze at all before I upgraded to 2.10.30.

You never actually uninstall / re-install Gimp completely because your Gimp profile, the folder C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\ remains between versions

You could disable that by renaming it, so that when Gimp starts it creates a new default profile. If that is stable then carefully add any scripts / plugins / brushes ... from the old profile.

Having said that, In linux, I went from a "never crashes" Gimp 2.10.22 to a Gimp 2.10.30 that sometimes crashes (rare in linux) . Seems to be a memory thing. When I clear the memory cache, then back to normal, but I think Gimp 2.10.30 can be buggy.

Looks like Gimp 2.10.32 might be out soon-ish Wink , look out for it. see: https://github.com/GNOME/gimp/commit/2b4...f070265f09
