Console GUI issues

Hello,
I am new to this forum and hoping somebody ay have some answers. I've recently installed Luna and quickly noticed that now, in Console, when I try to ad a new insert plugin on a given channel, the GUI is completely black - nothing is visible. If I select presets, I can hear the difference, but cannot see any of the virtual controls. Has anybody else experienced this?

I am running an Apollo Twin quad core into an M1 Mac Mini. I still like to use console for live streaming and have been considering the possibilities of using Console in a live performance context, which is why I'm still messing with the software, though switching from Logic to Luna has made it redundant for recording.

When using LUNA, there is no need for Console at all.*

*other than these situations.

Thanks for your reply Drew, but you didn't really address my issue. If for some reason* I wanted to continue using Console - is there any explanation for the GUI for plugins (unison or insert) first appearing blacked out when I launch them? If I close and then reopen a plugin window, the GUI shows up as expected but not when initially launched.
Anybody?

*I am actually interested in exploring the idea of using an Apollo Twin and Console with a laptop for live performance.

If you're running a supported OS and UAD version, these GUIs shouldn't be happening.

I'd try:

Do a full uninstall/delete all prefs/reinstall
