But definitely since I started using version 2.10 I have always used Samj's portable creations. This PC has never seen a regular version of GIMP. (Not even my previous PC)
But as I showed in the previous post, I definitely have a User/ AppData/ Roaming/ GIMP/ 2.10 User Profile.
My guess is;
samj portable uses "launchers" GIMP_XX.exe to set environmental variables for language and paths to the included user profile "Preferences" Some time in the dim-and-distant past you experimented by starting Gimp using gimp.exe or gimp-210.exe in something like E:\Gimp-2.10.28_Portable_32-64bit-Win\bin. That is a regular gimp and will make a regular User Profile in appdata. Not needed - just delete it.
