Sound Forge Pro 18 - can't change bit depth to 32

I am using the latest Sound Forge 18 Pro on (18.0.0 build 21) Windows 11

Whenever I take a wav file and try to set the bit depth to 32 (or 32 float) with the Pow-R dialog, the file gets messed up (all audio jumps to 100% volume).  If I look in the "Presets" pulldown of the same dialog box, I see every preset there EXCEPT for the 32 bit options. Screen capture attached. Note the "Preset" pulldown contains options 8, 16 and 24 bit - but no "32 bit" options.

In the second screen capture you can see the result I get (at the bottom) if I take any WAV file and try to set the bit-depth to 32 bits by using the "Bit Depth" pulldown (instead of the "presets" pulldown)
I am thinking my installation is missing the bit-depth 32 presets.
