I have removed and re installed gimp 2.8 a few times now, and still, when attempting to load the hue-saturation tool, Gimp will freeze. It thinks like it's loading but does not progress and Gimp no longer responds. I'm using Windows 7 Home premium. Please help.

Sorry for my stupid question to you, but: did you check your image's mode?
Hue-Saturation does not work on indexed images.

Gimp version: 2.10
While in the scheme of things, an indexed color image will prevent the hue-saturation tool opening, it should not cause Gimp to freeze.
Re-installing Gimp over and over is usually futile. You Gimp profile remains untouched and that is often the cause. Try renaming your Gimp profile folder C:\Users\your-name\.gimp-2.8 to maybe C:\Users\your-name\.gimp-2.8-bak to disable it. Restart Gimp and it makes a new default profile. See if hue-saturation works.
The other possibility is the image itself, what size/format, anything unusual?
