GIMP Won't Launch

There are various bug reports with similar subject, example: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/6802

The problem is no error messages. You could post a bug report on https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues but do not hold your breath for a solution.

There are a couple gimp command line switches that you could try (invoke same as --verbose)
-------
--no-cpu-accel
Do not use special CPU acceleration functions. Useful for finding or disabling buggy accelerated hardware or functions.

-d, --no-data
Do not load patterns, gradients, palettes, or brushes. Often useful in non-interactive situations where start-up time is to be minimized.
------
Might get more info, otherwise

Clutching at straws, in case it is the latest Gimp, have you tried an earlier version, maybe Gimp 2.10.14 which was fairly stable.

Previous versions here: https://download.gimp.org/mirror/pub/gimp/v2.10/

Turns out there were a lot of GIMP-related registry entries left over after uninstalling, even using Revo. I manually deleted all of them except one or two that regedit wouldn't let me delete, reinstalled 2.10.24, and it seems to be working now. No idea which of those entries were responsible for the problem.

If the problem returns, I'll update here.

Thanks for all the help!
