P: Upgrading Nikon Z9 Firmware to 4.0 breaks tethering

I am attempting to tether a Nikon Z9 using Lightroom Classic, but LRC can't detect the Z9.  I am able to download pictures from the Z9 to LRC all day long, and LRC successfully detects my Nikon D850 for tethering.  Nikon Z9 firmware is 4.0.  Mac iOs is 13.4.1.  LRC release is 12.4.  All are up to date.  Any ideas?

I noticed the same thing the other day.

Another post states that the Z9 V4 firmware broke the tethering. Z9 V3.1 Apparently still works ok.
