Does pgf 3.0.0 on ctan not have the arrows.meta tikz library?

Question

Ever since upgrading to pgf 3.0.0 and tikz-cd 0.9b, I cannot load the tikz-cd package. The issue seems to be with the arrows.meta tikz library. The following MWE throws up 3 errors and a warning, also listed below:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{tikz-cd}

\begin{document}
Hello World!
\end{document}

The errors from the .log file are as follows:

From the version mismatch warning, I'm thinking MiKTeX acquired some not-updated version of pgf. How do I confirm and work around this, if that is the issue?

Answer 1

It seems MiKTeX installed two different versions of pgf, one through Package Manager, and one through Package Manager (Admin). Running the non-admin Update removed one copy (this idea was from arrows.meta in tikz), and then the compilation was successful. If anyone has more details on why this happened, you're welcome to add another answer.
