Hi, are you writing about this version of Windows: 19044.1741 ?
There is no longer Windows10 (Beta, Dev.) only RP channel or do you have the switch set up like this?

This is an earlier update, but not everyone is updated at the same time. but it was a quick update, so you have some problem with Windows.

Do you delete earlier versions of Windows manually?
