Gimp 2.10.12 doesn't start on Windows 10 because of Sophos / hmpalert.dll
When I try to start Gimp, it only shows up as a background task in the task manager, with no CPU, no hard disk nor network I/O, and memory is fixed at 26.6MB. It seems stuck at something.
With --verbose --console-output I get, after deleting my GIMP user directory,
Parsing 'C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\etc\gimp\2.0\gimprc' for configured language.
Parsing 'C:\Users\Asus\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\gimprc' for configured language.
No language property found.
It appears that you are using GIMP for the first time. GIMP will now create a folder named 'C:\Users\Asus\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10' and copy some files to it.
