Looking at your posts on IM-users, you have plenty of resources, maybe not
enough disk space, so why not move that big file out to usb storage and accept
some long processing times.

Apart from that, I think some of the problem is self-inflicted. Changing IM
folder name etc...not a good idea.

While I still do not think IM will work for a 1GB png image, since it is
installed you can get some information which might assist others to help.

Look at the attached screenshot:

Open the (lame) Win10 file manager in the folder containing the large png.

1. Up at the top in the location, type cmd then enter. This will open a terminal
in that folder.

2. At the prompt \> type path (enter) and check that IM is in the correct place.
(otherwise uninstall/re-install)

3. type in the command using your image name 
magick identify myimage.png

Does it show something like the screenshot? Is it really a png? Is it broken?

Post the information and hope someone will assist. I do know that nip2 will work
with very limited resources in Win10, but you have to be patient.
