Joanne you may be on to something with your hypothesis of up to a 24 Hour wait to receive a build update. I had similar troubles as you and others waiting for new builds 10162 & 10240 to arrive when checking Windows Update. I had checked numerous times that I was signed in with a verified MSA account, on "Fast Ring" & Set to receive "Insider Builds" and still no update after 12+ Hours waiting for build 10162. I even tried other things such as using "System Restore" and restarting "Windows Update" to no avail.
What finally worked like a charm to receive the newest build instantly was restoring the current Windows 10 build that would not update from an earlier Macrium Image made when that build was "New" and it was created at least 2 or 3+ days prior.
I use both Macrium Reflect v6 and AOMEI Backupper to create my images and I am using the Free Edition of both. It took maybe 10 mins or less to create an image & maybe 10 to 15 mins to restore a particular image using a created Win PE disk.
Thanks for the tip sgage the main point of my post just above yours is that you can restore a build from a created image that is older than 24 hours (10 + mins) YMMV and after restoring that image you should receive the new build instantly. This method sure beats waiting 24+ hours for the new build.
Or just shutdown the computer when you are done for the day and turn it back on the next day and your updates should be there. That the way it worked for me.
One time I had a build that would not show up, I changed my network settings from public to private and it was there the next time I checked for updates.
