FW: Initial startup of GHCi (Windows) v. 7.10.3

Running on windows 10, GHC interactive fails to load any standard packages. The startup message does not include the prompt about initializing packages do, as shown commonly on Haskell getting started tutorials. Instead I see: GHCi, version 7.10.3: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help Prelude> :l Data.Text <no location info>: module ‘Data.Text’ is a package module Failed, modules loaded: none. Prelude> Any pointers on what to do next?

You need to use :m (or :module) to load (preinstalled) modules rather
than files, e.g:
Prelude> :m Data.Text
Prelude Data.Text>
Best wishes
