I understand build 11099 was released to the fast ring but it's not showing on mine yet. Anybody else get it yet? The other Jan updates went OK.

I found the problem. I had Spybot Anti-Beacon installed. I thought I disabled it but it turned back on. So I uninstalled and then it updated OK

Well it showed up today and claimed it downloaded and installed but didn't do anything else. I rebooted and ran Winver and it still shows 10583 not 11099. Did I miss something? There were no popups or anything to select.
