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:

I'm having no issues on my Windows 10 1809 Build 17763.316 system with Nvidia Quadro P2000 GPU driver 411.95 and i7-8700K processor. It takes between 20-30 sec. to build the enhanced DNG using Canon 5D MKII 21Mp CR2 files.
With the images I tried so far the enhancement is very subtle and only visible in very fine detail areas when viewed at 2:1 Zoom View as below:

Happens to me too on my laptop with 740M. I tried with and without GPU acceleration, all black. Updated drivers to 418.91, tried both with and without GPU acceleration but still all black, both preview and result.

Camera Raw is still visible in the CC app. Please scroll down to the end of the list. There you'll find CameraRAW.

I guess this happens only on Nvidia graphics. All answers above pointing to the same non-solving faq-pages (clean reinstall, disable GPU....). Why?
Now I also notice that Camera Raw is no longer visible in the Creative Cloud app.
Camera Raw works in Photoshop anyhow

Updated my old graphics card (NVIDIA Quadro K600) with a newer one (NVIDIA GeForce GT1030) and the latest NVIDIA driver (418.91, Feb. 6 2019). Enhance Details is now working in Lightroom.  A little unsteady at first (preview worked, but still generated an all-black DNG), but then subsequent photos worked and the all-black DNG suddenly changed into the intended image.

Yesterday on Mojave 10.14.3 Enhanced details I've tested, all work fine, today I just reinstall OSX, installed High Sierra 10.13.6, same version Lightroom on same Mac, render black dng image...
Gpu acceleration on/off in both combination resulted black image or image with artefacts.

Graphic card is Intel hd4600

Intel has released a Windows 10 (64bit) GPU driver today (Beta version 25.20.100.6577) that at least addressed one known enhanced details issue, please download and install from https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/80939/Graphics-Drivers

Reference: Lightroom Classic, Hardware host: Dell XPS running Windows 8.2 When attempting to use Enhance details the resulting image is a completely un-viewable black image. The raw image appears to cycle through the enhance detail process then produces failed result.
