Gimp consistently crashing on startup - Pancake - 10-20-2017 Hey all, I'm having a bit of trouble here. A few days ago, Windows 10 decided to do an automatic update, and ever since then Gimp crashes on startup, specifically when updating the tag cache. Here's the exact error message. ![]() Currently I'm using gimp 2.8.22, however when the problem first started happening I was using a slightly older version. I had uninstalled and reinstalled gimp several times, attempting to solve the problem. I don't have any brushes or plugins installed, and I only had one font installed, although I probably don't anymore, since I had deleted every file on my computer with the name Gimp attached to it. This problem is frustrating to say the least, and I'd greatly appreciate any help. Thanks! RE: Gimp consistently crashing on startup - Ofnuts - 10-20-2017 Rename your Gimp profile (which is left untouched when you reinstall). Restart Gimp, which will recreate a new profile. If it works, you can copy things from the old to the new (and eventually, erase the old one).

RE: Gimp consistently crashing on startup - Ofnuts - 10-20-2017 Problem has already been seen. See https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Gimp-Crashes-On-Startup Several things to try. If they all fail try installing a different build. They mention "Gimp portable" but a build from Partha.com would work just as well (use a 2.8 build, the 2.9 available there are still development versions). RE: Gimp consistently crashing on startup - Pancake - 10-20-2017 Thanks once again, but it looks like nothings working. I tried downloading the build that you mentioned but I'm still met with the same error. ![]() The strangest part of all this is that I've been using Gimp for about 2 years, and I've never even changed any settings. I've downloaded one font about a year ago, and that's it. No brushes or anything. It was working fine one day, then windows decided to update without my permission, and now it's broken. Update: Gimp portable isn't working either. RE: Gimp consistently crashing on startup - Ofnuts - 10-21-2017 Can you start Gimp with "gimp --verbose"? RE: Gimp consistently crashing on startup - Pancake - 10-21-2017 Sorry, could you elaborate on that? I'm not sure if I know what you mean by "gimp --verbose". I saw a mention of it in the thread you linked, but I guess I must've missed something. RE: Gimp consistently crashing on startup - Ofnuts - 10-21-2017 Not using Windows so cannot demonstrate, but it mostly means editing the shortcut/icon you use to start Gimp, find the "Command" and add a "--verbose" to it. RE: Gimp consistently crashing on startup - rich2005 - 10-21-2017 Rather than edit the shortcut try running Gimp from a terminal using a command like this Code: "C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\bin\gimp-2.8.exe" --verbose > log.txt Capitals are not important in Windows but the quotation marks and spaces are. That will get you a log file that you can copy/paste or post a zipped file to the forum. Demo https://youtu.be/i2-wno4JlMs about 3 minutes On the other hand, that earlier post involved a separate application, a clipboard, that interfered with Gimp. Are you sure nothing like that occurred? RE: Gimp consistently crashing on startup - Pancake - 10-23-2017 Thank you very much for the video, that was super helpful.
