"I accessed Predator Sense and found an icon for the GIMP program. I clicked on it, which directed me to a link on GitHub. After downloading it, I clicked on install.bat, which downloaded numerous items through CMD. After it finished, I couldn't find the GIMP program."

    Hi ALnaqib111,

    It all depends how you installed Gimp.

    For the regular Windows installer from gimp.org and the user accepting the one-click install it goes into C:\Program Files\GIMP 2

    However if the 'For Me Only' option is selected it installs into C:\Users\your_name\Appdata\Local\Programs\GIMP2

    Which same as the GIMP user profile, is in the hidden Appdata folder. See: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help...windows-10

    Going a bit further, and using the Gimp installer customize option, you can install Gimp to some other location, maybe a second disk
    or
    You might be using a portable Gimp which can be anywhere.

    However / Wherever installed, the location should show up by running Gimp then in Edit -> Preferences -> Folders Choose a resource folder and that shows both the location of your user profile and the location of the Gimp installation.
