    Some reasons for the menu greyed out-

    1. If Lightroom is showing the photo as "missing" with an '!' icon on the thumbnail border,  then Lightroom does not know where the file is located to be able to send it to Photoshop.  Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders

    2. You may be using Smart Previews to do your editing without the full-size files connected to the computer. Again Lightroom does not have access to the full-size file to send to Photoshop. https://www.lightroomqueen.com/lightroom-performance-previews-caches/

    What exact version of LR do you have installed? Go to Help > System Info

    Do you have Photoshop installed on your computer?
