A few things to try,
Windows menu → Single-Window Mode
Edit menu → Preferences → Reset
Edit menu → Preferences → Window Management → and click the button for Reset Saved Window Positions to Default Values.
Restart GIMP

If each of those options Odin provided fail to bring your window dialogs back to normal try removing the gimprc file from your c:\USER\username\"gimp-2.8" folder and restarting GIMP-2.8.14. GIMP will rewrite that file for you on restart.

I actually had a user that had installed a new mouse and drivers and GIMP refused to run after this. So this is very possible. :) :lol

They might hijack your system, until you purchase a Microsoft phone.
