From the library I used to be able to edit the entrys, but now I just get a blank screen. Search box is blank too, but actually works though I cannot see the search string in the box. Windows 10 has updated to the April release and the trouble is since then - but at the moment JabRef is useless to me.  
Any suggestions? (see screenshot attached)

HI,

have you ensured that you use the latest java and you could also try out the latest jabref version from here  
[https://builds.jabref.org/master/](https://builds.jabref.org/master/)

I got the Windows Update on two machines and JabRef works flawlessly for me.

That works thanks, I updated Java (which was an old version) and reinstalled the latest version and it works fine.
