I followed Rich's instructions and had no problems at all (Windows 10).
Here is a summary of the method:
1. In search box, type REGEDIT
2. Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\GIMP-2in1
3. Delete Gimp
4. Rename Gimp 2.8 user profile (eg from .gimp-2.8 to .Xgimp-2.8)
5. Install Gimp2.10 !IMPORTANT! Use the Customize option
6. Intall to C:\GIMP 210 (and not to to C:\GIMP 2)
7. Yes, I want a desktop icon
8. Rename Gimp 2.8 user profile back to .gimp-2.8
