GIMP doesn't show Tools window

I have this problem as well. Sometimes the tools window is inside another screen.

Shortcut:

Ctrl + B

Try the following.

under the Windows tab click Single Window Mode
if the tools window isn't inside the main window, use the Windows tab again and click Dockable dialogs → Tool options.

If the tools and layer box didn't go inside your main gimp window try toggling the Single Window Mode. This helps sometimes.

From the GIMP menu select Windows -> Toolbox

Shortcut Ctrl + B

Make sure you don't have the Windows->Hide docks option enabled.
