New Lumix gh5 RAW file RW2 not reading

I just bought the Lumix gh5 and the RAW file RW2 is not being accepted by Lightroom 6, which I purchased this year.  I've read some of the FAQ and answers without finding a fix.  Please advise.

    Support for this camera was added in Lightroom 6.9 and Camera Raw 9.9. The current Lightroom version is 6.12. So if you update to 6.9 or higher, the files should work fine.

    If you don't get your updates via Creative Cloud, you can download here:

    Download Photoshop Lightroom

    It has been a year, and I have upgraded ALL of my OS and software and I STILL cannot get the damn GH5 images out of the camera and into Lightroom. It is telling me that there are no photos on the camera. I updated camera RAW today and that STILL didn't help. Please help. I am so frustrated with this.

    If you are truly using Lightroom Classic CC then you should have support for that camera model. What is the EXACT version of Lightroom installed on your computer? How are you trying to download the images (connecting the camera, card reader, etc.)? It is not possible to update Lightroom using the Camera Raw plug-in. That has no impact on Lightroom whatsoever. The plug-in is not utilized by Lightroom. It is necessary to have the proper version of the Lightroom program installed in order to have support for the camera. The current version of Lightroom Classic CC is 7.5.

    Lightroom 7.5, Camera raw 10.5. I just recently did the CC update within the last 2 weeks and it's not telling me there's a new update available. I have the camera connected via USb-C.

    I am having the same issue with RAW files from the new GH5s. They won't open in Lightroom or Photoshop.

    Support for the new GH5s is not available just yet. We are working on it and should have an update out soon. Thanks for your patience.
