Can't Open Existing Images

Just downloaded the latest version of Gimp - I'm running Win 10/64.

Gimp opens OK to create new images, but every time that I try to open an existing image, the programme just hangs.

I'm clearly missing something fundamental here - could somebody please tell me what?

Thanks

There is the curious
https://superuser.com/questions/979504/load-dialog-disk-access-slowdown-on-windows-10/ - a non-existing-, never-ever-have-existed- or even what-is-a-floppy-drive delaying file dialogs. Can be switched off in the BIOS of computer management, see the article for more info.

But this is a delay of seconds, and I guess you waited that long.

Network shares have been reported to cause longer delays, especially if they can't be connected to.

Regards,
Michael
