Quote:Is this what new users are supposed to see after an install? Why then was mine blank?
I had once installed Gimp years ago...

It could be an old Gimp 2.8 installation coming back to haunt you. Do you have a folder C:\Users\"yourname"\.gimp-2.8 Settings from there can be transfered to the new Gimp 2.10 installation.
I did this before your second post

Should not happen but...
Are you using a graphics tablet or display ?  Maybe a sticky button ? 
If you open the 'Windows' menu does it look like this ?  https://i.imgur.com/Xpkt7Rq.jpg
Try hitting the tab key to get back to this: https://i.imgur.com/FahfFHm.jpg
Note: by default Gimp saves the last used settings so be careful how you leave Gimp.

Could have been that old setting - I do not know.
For a clean new Gimp
Delete that C:\Users\"yourname"\.gimp-2.8  if there is one
Delete the current Gimp 2.10 user profile C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP

Restart Gimp to make a new, clean, default Gimp profile.
