Can't see GIMP windows
#1
I have used GIMP for years. I upgraded to 3.0 and can't see any of the windows. I have it pinned to the taskbar ande tried to run it from there, nothing.
The services are running in Task Manager, both gdbus and GIMP. I deleted the sessionrc folder and restarted. I have reinstalled it many times. My graphics driver is up to date.
Here is what I have for my computer:
  • Motherboard Name Asus ROG Maximus Z790 Dark Hero  (1 PCI-E x4, 2 PCI-E x16, 5 M.2, 4 DDR5 DIMM, Audio, Video, 2.5GbE LAN, 2 Thunderbolt 4, WiFi)
  • Video Adapter NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER  (16376 MB)
  • Operating System Microsoft Windows 11 Pro
 
and various normal things.
I am a total loss because I have never seen this and I am a computer technician/cybersecuritry analyst.

Please help as I have been thru almost every suggestion on Google!

Thanks

How many screens? There are Windows utilities that list the apps and their windows and let you manipulate them (move, restore...), did you try  any of these?

I've seen something similar with Debian. Installing Gimp 2.x or 3.x for the very first time puts new files into $HOME/.config/GIMP/3.0/ (LInux). People were using Gimp 2.x for so long that most people were just updating this folder. I seems easy for something to go wrong on an initial Gimp install. 

As you are computer-savy you maybe able to locate your log files when Gimp is started and see where it halts. 'Gimp --verbose' from a terminal should also show you any errors.

If that doesn't work I suggest installing another Gimp3 version, possibly an earlier one just to write these essential files into your home account.
