Windows 10: Can't find Task View or New Desktop anywhere on my screen

I'm running Win 10 19043.1348 and can find no item called Task View to open multiple desktops. I've looked at Settings and Task View is greyed out so I can't switch it on. Please Advise. I want to open an app multiple times so I can work from different sections of publications at the same time.

no "+ New Desktop" link after clicking Task View

After clicking Task View I do not see a "+ New Desktop" link. Windows Key + Cntl + D will not create a new desktop either. If I have several apps running I will see the screens after clicking Task View but no "+ New Desktop".

Right-click Taskbar and enable "Show Task View button". This shows the

To turn off Tablet mode, click the Action Center icon in the Notification area and turn off the
