After the new CU (10586.11) has been installed and the computer restarted, Windows Update needs to run at least once either automatically or manually so that registry can be updated to reflect the rs1_release setting.
Last week the first major update to Windows 10 rolled out to the public, which introduced a range of changes that had been tested by Windows Insiders in the previous months. The next large-scale update, code named 'Redstone’, is scheduled to arrive next year and development of this release is already underway.
Last week members of the Windows Insider program began to see small hints of the Redstone update within the Windows 10 settings menu. After the RTM version of the 'November Update' was distributed among testers, a 'rs1_release’ branch appeared to many, which hinted the preview may be closer than initially thought.
Earlier today a cumulative update (KB3118754) was released for Windows 10, implementing small tweaks to improve upon last week's changes. With this update, it now appears that Windows Insiders are now being enrolled to the 'rs1_release' within their registries...

Does that apply only to the Insider Preview build ?
I have rs1_release on my Insider Preview but not on my Win 10 RTM. Both have KB3118754 installed.
Editing................ never mind. It is for Insider Preview.

Windows 10 Threshold 2 is here, so Microsoft can start focusing on the very next update for its operating system that, according to people close to the matter, is codenamed Redstone.
And it turns out that this is exactly what Microsoft's doing right now, with some recent changes made to Windows Insider branches showing that the company's getting ready to ship the very first preview builds of Redstone to its testers.
What is Redstone?
But first and foremost, let's see what Redstone is all about.
Basically, when Microsoft completed development of Windows 10, the company said that this was “the latest version of Windows,” meaning that no other versions of the operating system would be released. In other words, there won't be a Windows 11, Windows 12, or Windows 13, because Microsoft just wants to stick to Windows 10.
Instead of rolling out new versions of Windows every three years, Microsoft switched to what it calls “Windows as a Service,” which is a completely new approach that's supposed to bring updates at a much faster pace.
Now comes the wait for the first rs1 Insider Preview release. I'm betting on no more than 2 weeks.
