Why only one window in GIMP

Question

When I open GIMP only one window opens. Only the GIMP window, not the layers and channels window. How do I get this window to open?

Answer 1

Try File > Preferences > Window Management > Reset Saved Window Positions to Default Values

Answer 2

Answer 3

Main menu, Dialogs?

Answer 4

You can use the menu or key command (ctrl - l) but the layers and channels window is so important it should always be open (at least I think so)  

Below the main control panel, you'll see another panel that changes how it looks depending on what tool is selected. This panel has a small right-facing arrow. Use this arrow to select tools you want permanently docked. Choose -add tab, then find the layers tab.  I also usually have the navigation tab available, as I often use this tool.

If you still have a separate 'layers and channels' menu, I wonder if you might be using an older version of Gimp.
