Additional Apps No Longer Showing Up in Big Box

Hello, it seems ever since the update that added the option to view Additional Documents, I no longer can use any Additional Apps. Additional Documents shows up and even still has my pdf and cbz files, etc, but Additional Apps is completely gone. It is turned on in my settings and the theme specific settings, I tried turning it on and off again, tried changing themes, tried taking out some additional apps and putting them back in, but still nothing. Is this a bug that will be fixed in a future beta release? Or is there something I can do to fix it? Please let me know, as the feature is one I use very very commonly with my titles!
Also if it helps, the Additional Apps options still shows up in Launchbox, but once I go into Big Box it is no longer there. 
Here is a screenshot of a game where I have a couple additional apps, and a couple additional documents, such as an art book cbz file. The documents show up, but not the apps. Any idea why?
For reference, a lot of the Additional Apps are video files, if that makes a difference. For example with this game, I have some tournament matches in the Additional Apps section, and for another game I have clips of me and my friends playing as Additional Apps. Let me know!

UPDATE: I have gotten them to show up, but only if I check mark the "Use Emulator" option and choose an emulator. Obviously, that doesn't work if its a video file or an exe file, since it doesn't use an emulator. I assume this is a bug because of that, but let me know if there's any fixes or settings I'm missing. Screenshot2023-11-2723-23-43.thumb.png.8a55f00d4de850ca2596d20b5a175eb6.pngScreenshot2023-11-2723-16-08.thumb.png.f02cae6db3d74913dd592953a3a10a4e.png

Thanks! How do I revert back to the prior version?

In your \Updates folder are the installers of the prior versions you have used. Just run that installer over top your build. It will not mess up any settings. 

Note: Make sure you look at the install folder location before you execute the operation. Confirm it is not pointing the install to a \Launchbox\Launchbox folder. It should only be \Launchbox.

Thanks! Managed to roll back to the previous version
Also if I may ask, when it gets fixed could the Additional Documents tab be sorted right under the Additional Apps tab? Looks kinda strange for Additional Apps to be right under the Play button but Additional Documents to be all the way down after View Achievements haha
