Thanks!
The writeup is helpful, though it appears to be out of date.  In my 2.10.6,
there is no .gimp-2.10.

I suspect I somehow told GIMP to look in the wrong folders for file-jpeg.exe,
file-png.exe, etc.
Since these are in ${gimp_plug_in_dir}\\plug-ins\\file-jpeg\\ and
${gimp_plug_in_dir}\\plug-ins\\file-png\\ respectively, I could have lost a
pointer to the common upstream folder, ${gimp_plug_in_dir}\\plug-ins\.

(I added a private folder to the list in Edit/Preferences/Folders/Plug-ins.  I
could have missed an "Oops".)
