For Windows that is C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\
That folder remains between Gimp re-installations which is why it is very rarely worth reinstalling Gimp ( a peculiar Windows practice)
First thing to try is delete the whole of the GIMP user profile, this one https://i.imgur.com/cI5kvxw.jpg Start up Gimp and let it create a new, hopefully complete, profile. Just let it run to scan all fonts and plugins.
It is not unknown for the profile to be incomplete but very-very rare and usually a MacOS install, although it might be something like a bad font stalling the profile creation.
If the delete - remake does not work, I have attached a zipped profilerc It is just a text file containing standard sizes. Unzip it and put it in C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\ along with the other xxxxx-rc files.
Ah, I had deleted the profile from Program Files after uninstalling it but not from Users\"yourname\AppData\Roaming.
I noticed that the templaterc in Users\"yourname\AppData\Roaming\2.10 only had the text below.
"# GIMP templaterc
#
# This file will be entirely rewritten each time you exit.
# end of templaterc"
That's weird, right?
I still had the templaterc file in C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\etc\gimp\2.0, which had all the templates in the text, but copying that over did nothing, even after closing and restarting GIMP, so I used your file, which appeared to have the exact same text as the file I had under the Program Files tree, but yours worked, and closing and restarting GIMP didn't seem to change it to the previous weird text, so I think that worked.
I guess the question is, what did I hit to make it rewrite my templates upon exiting? lol
Anyway, thank you very much! I greatly appreciate it!
