W10M installation guide.

Well once fast ring has been selected, you shouldn't have to keep selecting it every time you open the app.
Try uninstalling the app and reinstalling it.
 
A new build is due to be released sometime today.
So it may be worth selecting fast ring and then checking for updates after this has been announced.
Also how do you find WP8.1 on your device and is it your main phone?
The reason I ask is that W10 mobile is still a preview and has lots of bugs.
