GIMP Won't Launch |

Just like the title says. I click to launch GIMP and it either appears to do nothing or it flashes the title screen and starts loading stuff then quits after a second or two.
So far, I have:
- Restarted my machine.
- Uninstalled and reinstalled, with and without Revo Uninstaller.
- Manually renamed my GIMP folder in AppData.
- Manually deleted my GIMP folder in AppData.
- Manually deleted all GIMP folders in AppData.
- Re-downloaded the installer.
- Done all of the above, AFAIK, in all combinations.
My most recent attempt was uninstalling with Revo, manually deleting all the GIMP folders I could find in AppData (it creates one in Local as well as the primary one in Roaming; Local only has a folder for crash logs, which don't appear), rebooting, and installing with Revo. GIMP launched and ran for perhaps an hour, then crashed and will not launch again. That has happened multiple times trying the same sequence.
I'm running:
- GIMP 2.10.24
- Windows 10 Pro 19043.1165
- Asus ZenBook 13, 12Gb
Thanks for any and all help!

Forcing Gimp to behave better with + and - zoom keys? |

In a nutshell: My #1 source of irritation right now when it comes to navigating Gimp is the fact that I have to make the edit window active whenever I want + and - to zoom in/out. Beyond being a redundant gesture (mouseover should 100% suffice), it's typically a legitimate problem, as I lose keyboard focus on whatever else I happen to be trying to do at the time—effects, punching in values for the selection, picking colors, etc. And if my selected tool isn't benign, I'll end up making an edit which I must then undo.
Is there a way to either force Gimp to obey mouseovers, or cause - and + to reliably zoom at all times?

Why doesnt newsprint work properly? |

Hello. Im simplying trying to make newsprint work on a solid color, why doesnt it?
It either blacks out the entire screen, doesnt do anything, or blacks out everything except for where Im trying to apply circles.
I had to apply newsprint cirles on a solid color red background and I went through like 40 hurdles just to put circles on a red background.
Im trying to do that same thing, literally just circles on red text, but it doesnt work?
Doesnt matter if its black on white, white on black, rgb, cmyk, it will do everything besides simply apply circles.
Or it does apply circles, but they are incredibly small, only white (cant be changed despite changing from black on white, rgb, etc) and are actually squares.
This effect was working perfectly a few days ago and Im trying to apply it in the same way and no dice. I opened my older projects to see how I did it, and I try to replicate the process but nothing.
Its really annoying me, Ive been at this on and off for 8 hours and Ive got to get this done.
It can do lines perfectly, but as soon as I ask for circles i get these small white squares (despite selecting circle) that are incredibly far apart so its barely even noticable on my text.
Why cant gimp just work the same way twice
Im so burnt out over this simple issue when I know ive done it countless times. I dont get it.

Gimp 2.10 selecting bucket tool cancels selection? |

Problem: try to fill a selected rectangle with bucket, but selecting the bucket tool cancels the selection.
How to reproduce:
1. Create a new layer, fill it with white
2. Select a rectangular on it
3. Click on the bucket tool ... Oops! Bang!
The selection goes away. Nothing left for the bucket to fill. Would like to understand why this happens and how to make the selection stay long enough for the bucket to fill it?

Weird grey/transparent block in exported image |

Hi,
I'm relatively new to GIMP and have just made my first image (an advert for an eSports match). However, when I go to export it, it adds a grey block into the middle of the image... I've linked a png version of the image exported image.
There's nothing that shape on the xcf file and I can't work out why it's happening. When i reload that PNG into GIMP it actually shows the block as transparent.
The xcf file can be found here.
I've got no real idea where to start! Any help would be welcome
