Pictures won't show in Gimp

[Tumbleweed]

Thanks for responding. Appreciate it. I can only get to Edit -> Preferences -> Folders . There is nothing that says plug-ins.  Even though I couldn't get to plug ins I did a reset and restarted and still no plugins.  I did a Gimp reinstall back when I first noticed the problem in early 2022. I didn't try any of your other suggestions yet in case not seeing plug-ins makes a difference in what I should do next. Again, thanks for trying to help.
