I also get this problem.
Brand new GIMP installation (today) on Windows 10 64-bit.
I initially thought GIMP was crashing when opening Edit > Preferences, but it's not, it's just taking a long time for the preferences dialog to open (20-30 seconds), during which time Windows reports the GIMP application as "(not responding)" in the GIMP application Window caption at the top.
Eventually the preferences dialog appears, and there are no problems.
This happens with no image file open in GIMP.
