I use GIMP on a Windows PC and I had the same problem. I finally discovered that
it was an incompatible plug-in. I had installed Gap for gimp in my previous
version. I believe that the plug-in is not compatible with the new processing
engine. (just a guess)
A simple uninstall through the control panel did not work. When I reinstalled
GIMP, it still had the same error.
When Windows uninstalls GIMP it leaves behind some files and folders that
contain your plug-ins, themes, etc.
I had to go and delete all of those folders and then reinstall GIMP for it to
work. Here are the folders that you should delete.

C:\Program Files\GIMP 2
C:\Users\<YourUserAccountHere>\AppData\Local\GIMP

The AppData folder is hidden so you may need to turn on the show hidden files
and folders option in the folder options link in the control panel to see it.

This will also delete all of your themes and brushes. If you have any custom
themes or brushes, you should back them up before you delete the folders.
They can be found: C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\share\gimp\2.0\themes 
and C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\share\gimp\2.0\brushes

After I deleted all of those files and installed GIMP again, everything worked
just fine.

Hope this helps.
