No replies? Best if you give OS - Win 7 / 10 / or linux/OSX and version of Gimp.

I remember a similar problem reported recently but as ever not able to find it.
In the past problems with Windows updates and Windows AV software sometimes
blamed but I think, it is often your Gimp profile.

A more general starting point.

1. Rename your Gimp profile to disable, say (Windows)
C:\Users\your-name\.gimp-2.8-bak (linux) ~./gimp-2.8-bak

Start Gimp up and check for problems.

2. Do 1. and then install the latest version of Gimp from www.gimp.org
