Gimp is frozen
#1
I'm still using version 10 (I like it!), but I've been working on a file that's 8100x5400 and suddenly everything is frozen. I've worked on many files this size (and bigger) before with no problems. I can't save, delete, x out of windows, etc. Computer is fine otherwise. Any ideas?

Oddly, the marching ants from a previous selection are still active and the windows I have open within the program can minimize and maximize.

I found this on Reddit--is it safe to try?--

I don't know why it works, but killing "GNU Image Manipulation Program Plug-in" on taskmanager brought GIMP back to life. It showed an error message, about the "failed" plugin and I was able to save my file.

Not sure what I just did but accidentally I closed the program--now it works fine. But I lost several hours of work. is there any way to recover it?
