Hey,
When I open up Word for Windows 10, I can't use Smart LookUp. Why is that? Every time I highlight a word and right click, I can't find the option. Was this discontinued?

The Smart Lookup option is certainly available here, when I right-click a word in Word 2019:
Selecting the option brings up the Smart Lookup pane, as expected.
Note that you may have to select "Enable optional connected experiences" in Trust Center for this to work (File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Privacy Options > Privacy Settings).

As I wrote, it is working fine here. There is an article about the functionality at https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Get-insights-into-what-you-re-working-on-with-Smart-Lookup-debf2083-5ac0-4739-8667-ae2467bec044, so nothing suggests that it should have been removed.
