The GIMP 2.10 interface may be slow because Windows is trying to open images with GIMP 2.8, as the screenshot I posted shows?
Keep C:\Users\Maria\.gimp-2.8 you might need it in the future.
The way the Windows Gimp 2.10 installer works is:
1. Gimp 2.8 is uninstalled
2. Gimp 2.10 installs in the same place C:\Program Files\GIMP 2 (what was gimp 2.8)
3. The first time Gimp 2.10 is run, a new Gimp 2.10 profile is created C:\Users\Maria\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10
4. Resources (scripts / plugins /brushes etc) are copied from C:\Users\Maria\.gimp-2.8 to C:\Users\Maria\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10
Possible problems for you.
C:\Users\Maria\AppData is a Windows 'hidden folder' to easily use it, enable hidden folders. Do a search or

The Gimp 2.10.2 slowness is not going to be fixed by re-enabling the old Windows viewer It is a hardware problem, probably your graphics card.
As a long shot you could try an alternative version, one from http://www.partha.com
If that gives no improvement, I recommend going back to Gimp 2.8.22
If you lost your gimp 2.8.22 installer get it here: https://download.gimp.org/mirror/pub/gim...-setup.exe
Did you see the image I posted with the reference to GIMP 2.8 in the "Value data" box when I tried to re-enable Seven's photo viewer on windows 10?
On the Partha's page I read this statement:
"File Association
Remove all references to the software you are installing from the registry and then use Windows to associate this version with your desired image formats. "
And would like to know if it refers to replacing "PhotoViewer.FileAssoc.Tiff" with some instruction related to GIMP 2.10? Can you explain to me what Partha is referring to in this excerpt from his tutorial?
