Try instead to find out what files it *does* read.
This can help you pinpoint a user inconsistency
problem if you learn some unexpected config files are
read instead. Use the man page to find out how to put
Emacs on red-alert and maximum verboseness and then
examine the log after startup.

... didn't you say you were on Windows 10?
On a Unix system this sounds like a file, user, link,
or path problem.
The file: see if there isn't a byte-compiled version
(with an ".elc" extension) that gets loaded instead!
(And verify that you systems shows the correct time,
with 'date'.)
In the shell, run 'whoami' and 'echo $USER'.
Then check the `user-login-name' and
`user-real-login-name' variables in Emacs.
Also examine what happens when you type "emacs" -
track down the binary with 'type' (in bash) or
'whence' (in zsh) - if it is a link, track it further
with 'readlink -e LINK' - I have a zsh function to do
this all at once, if you happen to use zsh [1].
Last examine $PATH (left-to-right) and `load-path'.
Everything looks good? Can you load stuff from
~/.emacs.d/ with `load', for example? I don't think
Emacs needs `load-path' to find the initial init file
(whoa), but instead just uses HOME, but it can't hurt
to have them paths correct as well.
