The problem is that the screen goes blank after a while with no access to any info, the hard disc sounds if it is working hard but to no avail.
So far, it's been 100% stable for me.
Perhaps the screen saver and/or a power saving option is blanking the screen.
What does "Settings", "System", "About" say?
Good idea.
The problem is that consumers don't expect a version of Windows to be anything but a stable release, much like what Red Hat is to the world of Linux.
Thanks for the ref, I ran the fix program & it said that it fixed a registry error.
I have seen complaints about every version of Windows. And about every OS I've ever used.
That sounds like a...baloney claim unless you've got solid numbers to prove it. Vista, heh.
Quick update. Checked again yesterday & screen said the software was up to date but when I clicked on 'check for updates' an update ran very quickly & finished without any errors. 'About' still says Win 10 Home.Thanks for the ref, I ran the fix program & it said that it fixed a registry error.
When I followed the instructions to check for Windows version it just said Windows Home 10. The settings page still says up to date & that any updates will be loaded automatically, every time I check it seems to say something different but now I will just wait & let it sort itself out
I should point out to those who are completely satisfied with Win 10 that I felt the same a week ago ....

Isn't that the version you have?
I made that comment because I assumed that a particular update number would be indicated. Given my previous difficulties, I was very surprised how quickly the update installed itself.Very good, sounds like the updates straightened themselves out.Quick update.

Ah! Those update numbers are also on the "About" screen. Like this:I made that comment because I assumed that a particular update number would be indicated.

Right click on the window icon in the taskbar and choose "System". In the resulting screen, on the Toolbar click "Help" and from the drop-down menu choose "About Windows". My version is home, not pro, and it produces this:
I see that denisg has provided a Home edition screen shot of the page that has that info.
Right click on the start button, click on Run, type in winver and see what that gives you.
Possibly the System default page?
