After installing GIMP 3.04 on Windows 11 Home 24H2 26100.4351, GIMP opens with the GIMP window extending below the taskbar and/or extending above the top of the screen. Also, when using View > Zoom > Fit Image in Window, the GIMP window changes to extending below the taskbar. Apparently there is a bug in Edit > Preferences > Interface > Windows Management > Save windows position on exit.
This is on 2 computers. Others have reported the bug: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/14325
My solution with 2.10.38 already installed

My solution with 2.10.38 already installed
- Backup my toolrc so I don't have to create it again.
- Delete the C:\Users\User_Name\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\3.0 folder.
- Open GIMP and have it create a new GIMP 3.0 folder structure and then close GIMP. It appears to copy some preferences and settings from 2.10.38 but not all.
- Create a default_rc folder and copy all rc files into it just to be safe.
- Copy my toolrc back into C:\Users\User_Name\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\3.0.
- Open GIMP and if it opens with the correct window size then:
- Fix the docked tab options, default grid spacing, default export file type and other preferences that did not copy over from 2.10.38.
- Adjust the canvas window size to fit a landscape oriented photo and adjust the docked window sizes.
- Edit > Preferences > Interface > Windows Management > Save window positions on exit = uncheck, click on Save Window Positions Now.
- Close GIMP.
