Tried to reproduce that error in a Win10 64 VM without success but as a starter
1. Did you uninstall Gimp with the Win 10 uninstall in APPS & FEATURES? Gimp is a very clean installation with very few registry entries, mainly for that uninstaller. screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/JLfeMrD.jpg
2. The uninstaller will only remove the original package, any extras will be left behind. Gimp 2.6 is 32 bit and installs in C:\Program Files (x86)\GIMP-2.0 You might be left with 'extras' like this, even after running uninstall. screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/tTSZTxy.jpg
Usually safe to delete all GIMP-2.0
3. There will be a Gimp 2.6 profile C:\Users\your-name\.gimp-2.6
It looks like you do not get this far but the Gimp 2.8 installer
(a) tries to remove that C:\Program Files (x86)\GIMP-2.0 and
(b) on first run migrates any settings / scripts / plugins to a new profile for 2.8
A good idea to rename the old 2.6 profile to prevent that and get a clean install. screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/lMh5Ts3.jpg
Do you have any of the above remaining?
