I tried to use bash on my windows machine... signed up for insider preview etc.

My machine consistently states a restart will force an update that will allow me to use bash, but it doesn't happen.

I gave up and went back to my ubuntu.

Not to be a dick, but you're probably not doing it correctly. It asks you to reboot on the spot, for one. When I first tried to do it, I couldn't figure it out without instruction. It's a fairly long process considering it's just a simple item. It should be as easy as switching on Hyper-V...but it's not. Granted it's still in beta.

I've had the update issue with a "normal" Windows 10 installation (upgraded from 7 without reinstall, which went well, seemingly). It always found updates but then failed (silently) to install them, and so on.
