   In a message on Saturday 11-04-16 Roger Nelson said to Holger Granholm:   
      
   Howdy Roger,   
      
   RN> Simple enough to find out.  Click Start > Settings > System > scroll   
   RN> down the left pane to About and click on it.   
      
    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.   
      
   RN> Sorry.  I should have put column there instead of 'pane'.   
      
   You don't have to be sorry. Windows itself doesn't seem to know, what to   
   present on the screen. After I had let the update loose on the laptop,   
   it showed a long column, with all kinds of settings, in a long column on   
   the left side of the screen.   
      
   Next time when I started it up and chose settings, it again was back to   
   the splash screen, with the icons for different choices.   
      
    HG> It showed the version to be: 1607, ie. the update. I checked again   
    HG> the contents of the Windows Upgrade Assistant, and found a couple   
    HG> of text files dated oct.11 2016, apparently telling the date of the   
    HG> upgrade.    
      
   RN> I didn't go that far, but I still wonder why that icon is on the   
   RN> desktop.   
      
   Me too!   
      
   RN> I have a FB account, but I didn't get out while the getting was   
   RN> good.  I haven't logged into it in a few years -- probably 4.  I was   
   RN> talked into getting a FB account by a Russian concert pianist and   
   RN> her husband who now live in Baden-Baden, Germany.   
      
   I really don't have time for FB, but I opened the account mainly to be   
   able to look at the videos and pictures my GS send from the various   
   places his job takes him, and pictures that my relatives put up.   
      
      
   Have a good day,   
      
   Holger
