    HG> Hi Roger,   
      
    HG> I read an article, in a puter magazine of course, about an   
    HG> anniversary upgrade to Win10, .......   
      
    RN> Simple enough to find out.  Click Start > Settings > System > scroll   
    RN> down the left pane to About and click on it.  If you have the   
    RN> anniversary update, it will show 1607, just like it shows on my   
    RN> tearline below.   
      
    HG> When I read 'pane' I interpret it to window. What I got after   
    HG> clicking Settings >, was a splash covering most of the screen.   
      
    HG> I tried to find "system", "about" and "version" without   
    HG> results. Next day I clicked the icon named 'system' on the   
    HG> splash screen, and there I found 'about' at the end of the   
    HG> list.   
      
    HG> It showed the version to be: 1607, ie. the update. I checked   
    HG> again the contents of the Windows Upgrade Assistant, and found   
    HG> a couple of text files dated oct.11 2016, apparently telling   
    HG> the date of the upgrade.   
      
    HG> That happens to be the date that killed my access to Facebook   
    HG> oct.12th. I haven't got it working since then.   
      
    RN> I believe the one before that was 1533, but I could be wrong.  It   
    RN> was 15-something, however.  (-:   
      
   I clicked on a Link in this article by Woody Leonhard:   
      
   https://www.askwoody.com/2016/woodys-win10tip-block-forced   
   -updates-in-windows-10/   
      
   The Link took me to:   
      
   http://www.infoworld.com/article/3138088/microsoft-windows/   
   woodys-win10tip-block-forced-win10-updates.html   
      
   As I was reading the article in that Link I thought of You   
   and Roger talking about Windows 10 when I saw in Step 1   
   there was a Link to learn what version of Windows 10   
   is being used on a computer.   
      
   Here's the Link:   
      
   http://www.infoworld.com/article/3136336/microsoft-windows/   
   woodys-win10tip-how-to-figure-out-your-windows-10-version.html   
      
   I Hope these Links/URL's help.   
      
   Also in Woody's article on askwoody.com (above), He had another   
   Link to an article on this website:   
      
   https://4sysops.com/archives/disable-updates-in-windows-10
