LINQPad 6 fails to start after installing .NET 5

I updated Visual Studio to 16.8.1 following the release of .NET 5. this also installed .NET 5 SDK/Runtime. Now I cannot get LINQPad 6 to start. On startup I get the message "LINQPad 6 requires .NET Core 3 to run".

I do have .NET Core 3 installed. Below is my output from dotnet --info. Notice I have both .NET Core 3 and 3.1 installed.

What do I have to do to get back up and running?
