Yeah, those examples are ancient... Unless I'm forgetting something,
my only open source SDL2 project so far is Kobo Redux
(https://github.com/olofson/koboredux), and that's not exactly a
minimal example. :-)

Not sure how you've installed SDL, but the library itself comes with a
bunch of test/example programs. There are probably precompiled
binaries of them somewhere, but I've never actually looked for any
myself.

You can either download the source code and compile some test programs
from there;

    https://libsdl.org/download-2.0.php

...or look around for tutorials and the like, with source and binaries;

(Wasn't there a massive list of software using SDL somewhere as
well...? I don't know if there is an updated one for SDL2.)

So, it's not a Windows 10 issue, at least. (It still seems to trigger
or cause issues with a lot of software, so the first thing to try when
having issues on Win10 is testing on any other Windows version to see
if the issue remains.)
