Fresh install of 2.10.14 dies on startup with Access Violation - mattheere - 12-20-2019
64-bit Windows 10 fully updated as of today, including latest nVidia drivers for the GTX970 direct from nVidia.
Fresh (1st time ever for this PC) install of Gimp 2.10.14 using setup-2 (downloaded from here: https://download.gimp.org/mirror/pub/gimp/v2.10/windows/gimp-2.10.14-setup-2.exe)
Installed for "All Users" so C:\Program Files
Took all the install defaults
Install completes without error
Try to run Gimp - nothing happens. No error. Nothing.
Launch the command line as admin and try to run gimp-console - I get this:
Exception code=0xc0000005 flags=0x0 at 0x00007FFD5A5072A6. Access violation - attempting to write data at address 0x00000E3800001FA0

I purged Gimp and tried it with a minimal install (Gimp, runtime, engine for GTK+, and debug symbols only). No difference.
Tried installing to E:\ - no difference.
Was getting ready to drop back to a previous version/installer, but thought I'd post and see if anyone knows what's up.

Probably reverting to an earlier version of Gimp might be the fix.
There are several bug reports some blaming a Windows AV others suspecting Nvidia

Thanks! I'll hop on that second thread and see if I can help get it sorted.
