Hello Gimp Forum,

Just getting started with Gimp so need the Help button.
When I click on Help a message appears:


help-browser.exe Message Parse error in "https//docs.gimp.org/2.10/en/gimp-help.xml': 
GET request failed: WinHttp error: CANNOT CONNECT

How can to get rid of this error message and get to Help?

Thanks.

Allen in Dallas

It should work in Windows - are you connected to the Internet? This in Win10 - Gimp 2.10 using default settings.

   

It might be a firewall or AV on your installation blocking the connection.

In Edit -> Preferences -> Help System try using the Web Browser option

   

If all that fails there is a good version of the Help files as a PDF here: http://gimp.linux.it/www/meta/
Download the gimp-help-2.10-en.pdf  size 40 MB All you need with a searchable index.

At the moment there is no installable Gimp 2.10 help - it is still work in progress
