OK, I have downloaded the latest Win10 ISO, installed it in a VM and it 
joined my Samba 4.13.2 AD domain. I am now of the opinion that it is 
something in your setup that is causing this and I think it may be your 
PDC which relies on two things. SMBv1 and netbios. Netbios does not use 
dns, so this may be replying to the Win10 search for a DC.
