Resolved,,,,
Ugh!!… After hours of searching for a solution, I figured it out. I must have accidently dragged the dividing window frame to the right, hiding the properties options from view. Unfortunately there is no indication that there is something there that can be dragged back out. Like a little triangle or tab at the edge of the main window.
Anyway,,,luckily I figured it out,,I was going crazy…lol
