Dax Studio - can't connect to anything (Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation)

Hello,

I have just installed DaxStudio 2.12.1 for the first time. When I click the connect button, I consistently get the error: Dax Studio - can't connect to anything (Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation). Could anyone possibly shed some light on how I get Dax Studio to work (using PowerBi July 2020 version).
