Effects From the Dropdown Menu Like Hard Limiter and Noise Reduction Process Will Not Open

[xflshow2020]

Just as the title says, I cannot open these effects at all. I can apply the effects rack fine, but the top menu dropdown is essential for me and it is not working, especially Noise Reduction Process. I cannot even get to that effect and I use it all the time. I am working on 14.0 on a laptop with a single screen and rebooting has not worked. Wondering if there is another solution before I go ahead and uninstall/reinstall stuff.

Which view are you working in?

"Process" effects are available ONLY in Waveform view, not Multitrack.
