Just a couple of 'wondering ifs'
When you start up Windows before opening Gimp have you checked in task manager to see if that 'zombie' Gimp is there?
Do you actually shut Windows down, many users just suspend ?
The second Gimp must be started somewhere which means that somewhere the -n switch was used. I did try starting Gimp in different desktops without -n and that is not possible, rule that one out. It might be some sort of Windows 'macro' Do you have anything 'auto' running?
As well as the main Gimp installation folder, remember that there is also your Gimp profile to search.
Gimp is a very self-contained installation. Usually a regular uninstall works. You can check the the Gimp 2 folder has gone and if not have a look at what remains, before deleting. Might give some insight.
Uninstalling does not remove your Gimp profile. If you go down the brand-spanking-new route. Rename that and also any legacy .gimp-2.8 folder to prevent migration of old resources.
best of luck
