   Ho hum!   
   On the day I made that posting, I applied the Opensuse updates (I think there   
   was one each for yast-bootmanager and for grub2) and then went into Win 10 and   
   applied the January updates.   
   Seeing your post today I changed the UEFI boot-order again to go into Opensuse.   
   It offered the usual 2 x Linux and 1 x Win 10 again.  Without me having to   
   apply either of the solutions here.   
   Witchcraft?  (that implies Win 10 was the problem!)   
      
   Thanks
