Problem with Crashing after adding more brushes

I have GIMP version 2.8.10 on my laptop running Windows 10I have been trying to add more brushes, however, when I do either GIMP won't completely load (usually at the point where it is updating tag cache) or when I go to start a NEW project it comes up that it has stopped working and Windows is checking for solutions and then shuts down.  If I remove the brushes from the GIMP brushes folder it works again. I just don't understand why it would keep crashing. I hope you may have heard of this previously and might know of a solution. Thanks.

How many brushes did you add?

just a guess, perhaps you have a bad brush. Try removing half, if doesn't crash, add another 1/4 (half of what is left) until you determine which is bad.

crash, add another 1/4 (half of what is left) until you determine which is
bad.  

And when you have found the bad brush, please open a bug and attach the brush file so the crash can be fixed.
