Can you upload a screenshot? Also try right clicking in the empty area and see if Show/Hide Tools are enabled?

I was just into trying to update my knowledge of dgnlib. The easiest way for me to find them was from dos prompt, at c: "dir *.dgnlib /s/b > List.txt" will create a list showing full file name. Then look at Microstation configuration variable MS_DGNLIBLIST and edit and/or move files accordingly.

I should specify, I can activate the Task Toolbox but it is empty.

Hello to all who responded. I am using Microstation V8i (SELECT series 4). And no, I dont get any kind of error messages about the missing files. I was able to find the Main menu. It has a new version, Main Classic that I hadn't seen, didn't know about. The Tasks menu is still absent along with the Drawing Task. My best guess is that I am missing one of the dgnlib files. I compared my Workspace configurations to a couple of colleagues. I was updated first so I could figure out and test....I just dont know how to find and instal the files. We are not administrators of Microstation here in house so I have sent an email to a representative of the company that distributes the software. Thank you for the input. I'll read those threads.

Which version of MicroStation do you have on this system as only the latest versions of MicroStation V8i SS4/10 or CONNECT Edition would be certified with Windows 10. The following Wiki article help you with a number of items to check to restore the Tasks Dialog but ultimately you should be considering an upgrade to the latest version.

You would also need to consider the expiring of support for the older versions.

Maybe look thru configuration variables (searchable) for any Windows paths. I might suspect ProgramData and Users structure may be different in 10. If it's not much trouble (usually isn't), simply reinstall microstation.
