It might be worth having another go. As before I use mainly linux, keep a
Windows virtual machine to see the problems Win users experience with Gimp.

This Win 10 VM is short on resources, 2 GB memory and not much free disk space.
Amazed that it works.

15 minutes to load the 1,225,877 KB png, 18 minutes to render a 10% scaled png
32,561 KB

see the screenshot and check the bottom left corner. I started with 2.02 GB free
and ended with 1.11

Personally, I do not think that ImageMagick will scale that down. I get error
messages here, but the place to ask is the IM forum where they are very helpful.
