It is caused by the Windows Gimp 2.10.12 installer - specifically gimp-2.10.12-setup-1.exe & ...setup-2.exe which introduces new registry entries for determining file associations and can have unfortunate consequences. Prior to the change file associations were set during a 'customize' installation.
When this came out I recorded the changes and the number of registry entries went up from a couple of hundred to around 1900. It is possible to create a reg file to remove all but the common file types or set for a particular application.
For a regular user, the Windows tools should be used and that varies on version see:

Someone with similar problem used this fix https://www.gimpusers.com/mailmsg.php?92...pusers.com
Other than that, have you tried exporting with a defined extension.
Quote:...from gimp developer ...Instead of trying to make GIMP the default application for file types selected during setup, it now instead registers GIMP as being able to open all of the extensions it supports, which lets Windows manage the associations....
