Agree that the output from `juliaup status` is not self-explanatory about the versions installed and pinging @davidanthoff should help clarifying.

Regarding:

> `juliaup update` still won’t update to RC3

Before `juliaup update` had here on Win10’s powershell:

```julia
> juliaup status
Installed Julia channels (default marked with *):
     release
     beta (Update from 1.7.0-rc2+0~x64 to 1.7.0-rc3+0~x64 available)
  * 1.6

```

And after update:

```julia
> juliaup update
Installing Julia 1.7.0-rc3+0 (x64).
> juliaup status
Installed Julia channels (default marked with *):
  * 1.6
     beta
     release

```

Then in powershell do:

```julia
> juliaup default beta
> julia

```

Julia REPL then launches and new version was installed:

```julia
julia> VERSION
v"1.7.0-rc3"

```

Linking [also this post](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/ann-juliaup-preview-julia-version-manager-and-windows-store-installer/61920/48) that has more information than I can process.
