Upgrade of Linux Subsystem for Windows 10 (WSL) to Ubuntu 16.04 not working

I want to upgrade to the latest WSL and used the official upgrade procedure, i.e.

lxrun /uninstall /full

and then

lxrun /install

However, lsb_release -a tells me I still run the 14.04 release and not 16.04? I tried Powershell, Command Prompt with and without Admin privileges and rebooted a couple of times. Windows is all up-to-date.

Any hints?

Ubuntu 16.04 in WSL became available in Insider build 14951. It is also in version 1703, the "Creators Update" which is in limited release. (As of 27 July 2017, full release.)

However, you may be able upgrade to Ubuntu 16 even if you don't have a late build of Windows. According to this, you can do a release upgrade. I haven't tried it. It is unsupported. For all I know, it may make your WSL go up in smoke, so do a backup first.
