Switch to LaTex Can Not Be Used As Before

Question

I have made a lot of mathematical quizzes in the past years using Microsoft Forms for my university students.

A quite useful property of the Forms is the Math Mode, where one can add maths using Latex. Please see below a question with 4 options that I had made using Latex with Math Mode:

Quite recently, it came to my attention that something has changed in the Math Mode. Specifically, after pressing Switch to LaTex, actually, I am not able to enter Latex maths as before.

For example, I can not even enter a simple matrix equation

Spoiler

\mathbf{P}=\begin{pmatrix}0.5 & 0.5 \\ 0.5 & 0.5 \end{pmatrix}

Please see in the following video the way I was following to insert maths using latex code: https://youtu.be/K-PJpdpeF9M?t=404

Unfortunately, Switch to Latex is currently not a real option, in order to enter Latex maths, but it's functionality in now limited.

My question is how one can use the Switch to Latex option, in order to be able to insert Latex maths as before?

Thanks
