I'm working through some tutorials on Photoshop and whenever the tutor adds an "New Adjustment Layer" it comes with a "mask". On my copy of Photoshop CC 2020 21.2.2 there is no "mask" being added so what is the benefit of using the "New Adjustment Layer" over just a plain "adjustment" e.g. image/adjustment/brightness-contrast" as compared to "Layer/New Adjustment layer/brightness-contrast"? As it stands I have to add the "mask" manually for it to work. Has the "mask" been done away with on the latest version of Photoshop CC 2020? Or have I missed a setting somewhere along the line?
Your help would be much appreciated. Thanking you in advance.

ps. I am on a Macbook Pro 16 running the latest version of Catalina should that make any difference.
Hi
Is this option enabled from the flyout menu for the adjustment panel

Many thanks for that information. I knew that I must have something unchecked for this to be happening.

I have another problem today in creating a "new fill or adjustment layer" from the menu at the bottom of the right hand side of the Photoshop menu. I'm trying to create a "solid color" adjustment layer but it isn't showing a "mask" as the tutors example. There is nowhere here on the "properties" window to "add as default". Can you suggest how I can get it to load a "mask" automatically on creations please?
Thanking you in advance.

Hi
You need to select the adjustment tab and from the flyout menu you'll see the option
If you don't see the adjustment tab
