  • GIMP 3.0.8 Installation

    From tb@nospam@example.invalid to comp.graphics.apps.gimp on Sat Jan 31 18:09:53 2026
    From Newsgroup: comp.graphics.apps.gimp

    I have just installed GIMP 3.0.8 (64-bit) on three PCs, all of them with Windows 10 (64-bit), v. 22H2, OS Build 19045.6466.
    GIMP does not launch on any of the three after double-clicking on its
    icon. It briefly displays a small blue spinning ring and nothing else happens...
    Is there a trick to launching GIMP on PCs that run Windows 10?
    Thanks.
