The Windows Gimp Help-Browser plugin is broken. No sign of it being fixed.

Go to Edit -> Preferences -> Help System Check that there is a local installation of the user manual showing and change Help Browser to use from GIMP help browser to Web browser

looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/bDH8mV7.jpg

It still uses the local files but with your default web browser. Which might / might not work.

Note: The Gimp help files are still stuck on Gimp 2.8 You will have seen a message like that when installing help. All the help is useful but some references are not quite correct / out-of-date / missing.

You can get a PDF from http://gimp.linux.it/www/meta/ the 2.10 version is up-to-date as far as it goes 46 MB download 1033 pages. Indexed and searchable.
