I have downloaded and installed DOSBox 0.74 (Latest and Greatest) but it does not seem to run on my Windows10 OS PC, it worked fine with Windows 8.1 but as soon as Windows10 was installed it stopped working, I have tried Compatibility Mode and even run as Administrator, no go, Any thoughts? any other recommendations?

Most people report it working just fine on windows 10.
I'd check your graphics driver if I were you.

I'm getting a green background on my DOS Box in Windows 10. How do I get it back to black and functioning?

Doesn't run for me either. Just immediately errors out with this:

I don't see a 64-bit version there.

And there isn't supposed to be one. You don't need a 64 bit version but dosbox.com is the correct place to get Dosbox...

My point is that the error dialog is showing 64-bit pointers, so it's not an official DOSBox release.

Yes, it gives the same error. It also memory leaks, quickly taking up more n more RAM until the error message pops up.

Fixed the error, turns out it was because i had one monitor plugged in to onboard, and the other in to my gpu. I unplugged the onboard, reinstalled my nvidia drivers and now its working.

So, external MIDI modules still work with a USB adapter cable in Windows 10?
