Hi Morgan,
We regret for the inconvenience caused.
Could you please share more information about "during build still flagged as being "windows 8" not win81."?
Regarding "Also the dashboard flags the service update as old... says there is a newer build 11.3.0.30, also there are 2 dash boards now, service update didn't remove the old one.", we would like to inform you that ‘Updates” option in Essential Studio Dashboard uses web service to retrieve the latest version(main volume release) information from our database. Since we publish the Service Pack release for WINRT alone(not for other platforms), information about this Service Pack will not be available when you search for updates from Syncfusion Dashboard and the latest main volume release version(v11.3.0.30) will be flagged as newer version and current version as service pack version. As you have installed both versions(11.3.0.30 and 11.3.0.32) and installed location is different, dashboards available for both versions.
Please let us know if you need any further assistance on this.
Regards,
Vadivel N
