Gimp stores your user settings in a "Gimp User profile"
In Windows it is usually C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\
Appdata is a hidden folder so check with https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help...windows-10 to make it visible.
If you go back to post#4 , the screenshot of Edit -> Preferences -> Folders shows the location of your User Profile - the first line.
For a backup, which is never a bad idea, backup that ...\GIMP\2.10 folder structure.
Please note.
If the Gimp User Profile does not exist, Gimp will create a new default version when Gimp is first run.
If you uninstall Gimp, the User Profile remains untouched.
If you re-install Gimp, the User Profile remains untouched.
If you update Gimp, the User Profile remains untouched.
If you screw-up your settings (and it is the user who does this not Gimp), delete that user profile and restore your working User Profile backup.
Hi Rich,
Thank you for sharing where and what to look for to get back my user settings for GIMP.
But how does one get it all back? What I mean is if GIMP is reinstalled etc, how do I get these settings back?
Right now they are empty folders because Windows was just reinstalled... what a pain!
Thank you,
Angel

C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\bin
and then clicked gimp-2.10
It confused me because it didn't have the .exe on the name.
It does... but your file explorer is likely setup to not show file extensions (IIRC this is is the default)
You were right. That was the reason.
Thank you for that info.
