OK -- in your LyX file, Instant preview works ok. Two questions:
* Could it depend on which *style* I use?
* My LyX version is:
LyX Version 2.3.1-1
(Saturday, September 29, 2018)
Built from git commit hash ce82ba93
Library directory: ~\AppData\Local\LyX 2.3\Resources\
User directory: ~\AppData\Roaming\LyX2.3\
Qt Version (run-time): 5.10.1
Qt Version (compile-time): 5.10.1
--
--> How can I update to the latest version *without* uninstalling the current
one, and installing the new version from scratch?

I cannot reproduce the problem. The ø in the attached file shows with instant
preview turned on.
This is on Windows 10 Pro 64bit version 17134.345. ("latest version" is a bit
ambigous since there are different update tracks and the recently pulled
"October 2018 Update".)
