The GIMP 2.10 interface may be slow because Windows is trying to open images with GIMP 2.8, as the screenshot I posted shows?
Keep C:\Users\Maria\.gimp-2.8 you might need it in the future.
The way the Windows Gimp 2.10 installer works is:
1. Gimp 2.8 is uninstalled
2. Gimp 2.10 installs in the same place C:\Program Files\GIMP 2 (what was gimp 2.8)
3. The first time Gimp 2.10 is run, a new Gimp 2.10 profile is created C:\Users\Maria\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10
4. Resources (scripts / plugins /brushes etc) are copied from C:\Users\Maria\.gimp-2.8 to C:\Users\Maria\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10
Possible problems for you.
C:\Users\Maria\AppData is a Windows 'hidden folder' to easily use it, enable hidden folders. Do a search or

The Gimp 2.10.2 slowness is not going to be fixed by re-enabling the old Windows viewer It is a hardware problem, probably your graphics card.
As a long shot you could try an alternative version, one from http://www.partha.com
If that gives no improvement, I recommend going back to Gimp 2.8.22
If you lost your gimp 2.8.22 installer get it here: https://download.gimp.org/mirror/pub/gim...-setup.exe
