Howdy! Holger and Roger,

 HG> Hi Roger,

 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> 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> 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

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
-1607-anniversary-update-using-group-policy/
