Where should I install the source files for GEGL Custom Bevel by LinuxBeaver? I am using Windows 10 OS and Gimp 2.10.36

Thank you.

Install GEGL Custom Bevel in the GEGL plugins folder,
(not the normal GIMP plugin folder).

I believe the Windows 10 (GIMP 2.10.x) path is:
C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\gegl-0.4\plug-ins\

Place the entire plugin folder there,
restart GIMP.

You should then find it under:
Filters → Generic → Custom Bevel (GEGL)

On 2.10 its only found in gegl operations>custom bevel in the list, it only appears in the menu on GIMP 3.

I seem to have got the plugin working following your advice but found it here:
Tools - GEGL Operation - Bump Bevel (lb:custom-bevel).

I created some interesting effects but was unable to reproduce what I did in 2013:

I'm beginning to think that I may have used some other plugin effect. All I have is references to Bevel Width, Azimuth, Elevation and Depth settings. The other thing I remember, was that the rendering of images was very slow. Any ideas?

Thank you,
