I installed Code::blocks using default setup;  When I try to start it for C, I get an error message that it can't find a path to GNU GCC compiler.  Any suggestions?

OS? Which package have you installed? Have you installed a compiler?

So sorry, stupid of me not to include:  Code::Blocks 17.12, running on Windows 10

I assumed Code::Blocks would install a compiler as part of the IDE

It depends. There are installers which have a compiler and installers which don't have compiler. Which one have you used?

I used codeblocks 17.12 setup.  does it include a compiler?  If not, can you recommend a version that does?  Thanks for your help!

everything is written in this page : http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/26 from where you have probably downloaded your version.
take a little time to read everything.
Windows 11 64 bits (25H2), svn C::B (last version or almost!), wxWidgets 3.3.2, Msys2 Compilers 16.1.0, 64 bits (seh, posix : gcc, g++ and gfortran in C:\msys64\mingw64) or 32 bits (dwarf2, posix  in C:\msys64\mingw32).

AAARRRG! This time I installed "codeblocks-17.12mingw-setup" or C in Win 10, and I still get an error message it can't find the compiler :(  Any suggestions?

Goto the compiler settings select the GCC compiler and find the auto-detect button and try to see if it helps. If it doesn't help search the wiki for instructions how to setup a compiler.

Sorry for being dense, but I've selected the Gnu  GCC compiler and don't see an "auto detect" button:(

It is on the toolchain executables tab. If you don't see it press the right arrow or resize the dialog.

If you still cannot find it - search the wiki...

first uninstall Codeblocks mingw bla bla, the Codeblocks MinGW bundle download is messed up.
Now install MinGW separately and first...... https://osdn.net/projects/mingw/releases/
Now download and install Codeblocks ONLY ..... http://sourceforge.net/projects/codeblocks/files/Binaries/17.12/Windows/codeblocks-17.12-setup.exe

And here are some videos that will actually show you the secrets on how to........ set everything up shhhhh
