I just logged in here for my first time to ask the same question. I’m in EXACTLY the same boat you are. Hope we get an answer soon.

There is no option for LCOW any more, it is build in and you don’t have to activate it any. I get the following screen when switching to Window…

What version are you running? I didn’t realize LCOW was already merged into a stable (or edge?) version!
