I'm sorry to see that you're having trouble updating to the latest version of ArcGIS Runtime.

Can you please confirm the versions of the NuGet packages you have installed for each project in your application? That will help me better understand the problem.

Consider checking the minimum and target version of UWP in the UWP project. The minimum supported UWP version has changed between 100.8 and 100.13, and that may be related to the problem. You can update the minimum UWP version to 18362 in the properties page for the UWP project.
