P: Enhance Details broken - All-black preview and final render

I was super excited about the new Enhance Details feature rolling out today.  However, something about it refuses to work for me.  When I select the feature on an image, the preview pane only shows a completely black pane on the "Enhanced" version.  Furthermore, when I click the "Enhance" button, processor and GPU rev up and the progress bar moves, but ultimately it only renders a completely black DNG.  This seems to happen on any photo in my collection.  I have verified that I am updated to the correct version of windows, and that I am working on a CR2 RAW file.  Screenshots:

At first time, when I placed config.lua exactly to location described in Step 2 on 'helpx.adobe...' it didn't work. LR system info showed "Config.lua-Flags: None". So, I thought problem was with the location of the file. Maybe this was crazy idea but I copied config.lua to three location listed in LR System info: Application folder, Library Path, Settings Folder. In my case, this was the shot at 10, preview and dng files are correct. I'm not sure which one of these catalog is properly, at this point never mind.

Thanks Wes Aslin for this solution!

I forgot to mention that I did a clean install of my nvidia driver---which didn't fix the issue---before I forced Lightroom to use openGL.

Believe I'll wait on an update fix since its happening with all the adobe raw file apps.

I was able to solve the problm by forcing Lightroom to use openGL, instead of Direct X. I have an nvidia GTX660 and I'm on the latest drivers. I used Step 2 on this page:
