Hi! I am trying to install the GUI version of opencv-python as opposed to the non-GUI version called opencv-python-headless. However, no matter which version of opencv-python I install, the GUI is not always present. I had to go back to version 4.5.5.64 to find a wheel that has some sort of GUI.

Same for all of the versions after this one.

Am I doing something wrong?
