GUI v6.0.0-beta can't find Ganglion on BLED112

I just installed OpenBCI GUI v.6.0.0-beta on a new computer in our lab. When I open Data Source--> Ganglion--> Bluetooth (BLED112 Dongle) I get an endless search and nothing shows up. Running a depreciated version of the GUI (5.2.2) works just fine. Both 6.0.0 and 5.2.2 work on the other (older) lab computer. I have no trouble connecting a Cyton board via the Cyton dongle. The BLED112 dongle shows up in device manager as COM4. I'm at a loss why only the new version of the GUI can't find the Ganglion board (boards actually, I've tried two different Ganglion board and two different dongles).

Mentioning the GUI dev, Richard @retiutut.
re: your statement: "Running a depreciated version of the GUI (5.2.2) works just fine." I don't believe 5.2.2 is 'deprecated'. It's just not the latest, promoted 'beta' version. 5.2.2 is not a beta test version.
Another puzzler, Richard, can you also explain why on the Downloads page and Github, most of the GUI releases have 2023 dates?? Is that the actual date the release was posted for users, or the date the release was initiated for revision on Github. I'm confused. Maybe a "Posted on xx/yy/xxxx." date annotation would help see the 2025 dates.
