If the gimp installer finds an existing installation then it un-installs before the new installation. That is mostly due to Windows registry entries.
First try and completely remove everything Gimp.
If there is an entry in the Windows applications uninstall menu, use that. Sometimes it says it cannot find the application and asks if you want to remove the entry - do it.
Otherwise a sequence here: https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Unable...completely
After, hopefully an uninstall, restart Windows and delete all of C:\Program Files\GIMP 2 - There are always files left over that cannot be deleted until a restart.
If up to it, use regedit and search for Gimp and delete any entries.
Then try an installation. The gimp-2.10.34-setup.exe from gimp.org should be 311,394,480 bytes
Always difficult diagnosing someones computer at a distance. Best of luck
