Latest version of Blender opens with blank screen Recently installed latest version of Blender on my laptop, only to have it open to a blank white screen- did not have any issue with an earlier version of Blender on the same computer. 

I am running Windows 8 64x, with NVidia GForce GT 6300M and Intel(R) Graphics 4000, and have installed python 3.5.1.

Any ideas short of rolling back to an earlier version of Blender?
I had a variety of problems installing other brands of software on my computer and even installing Microsoft updates, I suspect it may have been due to an installation issue with Windows 8. I've since upgraded to Windows 10, and the latest version of Blender (along with the latest version of everything else) now runs just fine on my computer.
