Why does G'MIC h fail to retrieve h?

Software G'MIC
1

This is on my alternative computer, but I’d like to know why it isn’t working:

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19043.1165]
(c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\Windows\System32>gmic h resize

[gmic] No help available for command 'resize'.
       Try 'gmic -h' for global help.


C:\Windows\System32>gmic h split

[gmic] No help available for command 'split'.
       Try 'gmic -h' for global help.


C:\Windows\System32>gmic h image

[gmic] No help available for command 'image'.
       Try 'gmic -h' for global help.


C:\Windows\System32>gmic h j

[gmic] No help available for command 'j'.
       Try 'gmic -h' for global help.

Where do I begin with this? If I recalled correctly, I might look at the version where it last worked. That’s where I can begin.

Edit: Resolved after gmic up

You’ve resolved this. I’m providing extra documentation for people parachuting in from search engines.

I create this no-help-for-help condition exactly! by cleaning out my G’MIC installation completely! — even down to the gmicxxx.gmic file in the .config/gmic directory. Immediately after a fresh compile of cli, but before gmic up there is no reference file for gmic -h Next update re-fetches gmicxxx.gmic and gmic -help works again.
