None of these worked for me.
The error that keeps popping up is "The procedure entry point (various entry point names) could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\bin\(some .exe or .dll)"
I've used GIMP for about 10 years on Linux, 3 years on Windows. I installed 2.10 on Windows yesterday. 2.10 binaries are not yet available for the Linux machine.
This problem has been ongoing (for me) for about 3 years with GIMP 2.8 and is more than 10 times worse with 2.10. Looking through Google, I find that this has been an ongoing problem for at least 9 years with Windows versions. Seems that Linux versions are OK--at least, I've never encountered these errors with Linux.
Using 2.8, the error dialog popped up 7 times--always 7 times--from the first startup. Though inconvenient, it was not a big hassle. With 2.10, that dialog pops up over 100 times when it's loading plugins. Nearly an hour is wasted sitting in front of computer clicking dialog boxes. Even if I decide to stop GIMP, I can't until it's run through all the error dialog boxes unless I go admin and end the program in Process Monitor.
I uninstalled 2.8 before installing 2.10. There were no complaints at all while installing either 2.8 or 2.10.
So. Where do I go from here, I wonder.
