I tried several options suggested by other Gimp users but none seem to work.  I read it has something to do with Nvidia which I have on my system.  How can I fix this?

When you click the GIMP icon in Start menu, does anything at all happen? If it doesn't, try this: right-click the Start button, choose Run, and put the following in the Open text field:

"C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\bin\gimp-2.10.exe" --verbose

Then click OK. Hopefully, you'll get at least a black window with some text this time. Right-click the titlebar of this window, choose Edit → Select All from the menu, then press Enter - this copies the content of the window to clipboard. Please paste the result in e-mail, it'll hopefully tell why GIMP isn't starting properly.
