Can't check if Windows 10did an update.
At this point I am confused as it has been fine all day.
What version of Start10 are you using?
Make sure you are using the latest version as it sounds like your computer updated to the November update of Windows 10 which may be unhappy if you are using a much older version of Start10.
The current version of Start10 should be working fine though (1.08)
