Your accidental shutdown might be the problem. By default Gimp saves the layout last used.
However to fix a layout, set up Gimp the way you want and your toolbox (aka like PS) can cause problems if the tool options dock is not visible somewhere
thenIt is Edit -> Preferences -> Interface -> Window Management untick Save window positions on exit and click on Save Window Positions Now OK that and close the preferences.
Gimp will start with the layout you specified. If you want to change anything, repeat the process.
