Upgrade 3.0.6 - J-C R 45 - 10-28-2025
Upgraded Gimp 3.0.4 to Gimp 3.0.6.
Gimp 3.0.6 is crashing when initialising documents.
Uninstalled & reinstalled many times, removed all Gimp from PC
still crashing.
Reinstalled Gimp 3.0.4 and working perfectly.
Any recommendation.
Thankyou

Does that mean that Gimp opens showing the interface but the crashes when opening an image ?

It is said many times that reinstalling at the drop-of-a-hat does not prove anything. All your settings are held in your Gimp User profile C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\3.0 which keeps existing settings.
The first thing to try is rename that folder as a backup. Start Gimp which makes a new default version, and see if the fault still occurs.
As a possibility, I have seen a comment about third-party GEGL filters causing a crash with Gimp 3.0.6. Do you have any of those installed ?

Followed your instructions and removed GEGL-GImp-Plugin_Old_Photo_Antique-main.
Upgraded to gimp 3.0.6 and Gimp crashed at the same place, see attached image.
If no solutions I can wait for the next upgrade, gimp 3.0.4 working perfectly.

I've noticed that GIMP 3.0.6-1 takes a moment to load the "documents" file. I think on this moment GIMP is searching for the most recently opened files in "documents." After unchecking this option, GIMP seems to process the "documents" file more quickly. Perhaps there's a problem with incorrect or missing files that gimp is trying to find.
