The default wallet has "seed" shaded grey, which means no seed.
I'll repeat my question above which you haven't answered yet: How did you create this watch only wallet? Did you go through the Electrum set up wizard and write down the seed phrase of 12 random words it showed you at some point? Or did you get a master public key (a long string of characters starting with "zpub") from somewhere else and use that to create the wallet? Or did you just import the addresses manually? Answering this is necessary before we can potentially work out how you can spend your coins.
Its not an Electrum generated address.
So where was it generated?
Well that was the reason I made other wallets to see where I might have erred. I may have done that on another laptop, I`ve been running 2 lately with wallet issues. I had another separate issue with a Treasure Chest full node wallet.
From memory because I don`t want to set up another one, there was like 4 options. And I just forget now if that was a good thing or bad thing but I did try another direction which of course put me no closer to my coins. It was just an eye opener.
Wallet is downloaded from the official Electrum site. They really stress that all over the net.
I`m using a Electrum watch only wallet apparently but it is at my bc address if that makes a difference. Its not an Electrum generated address. I was only using Electrum as a medium to transact. If that makes sense ?
As said above, you may be able to spend your funds in that case. Do you mind telling us which service did you use to generate and that address? and do you still have access to it?
I have it bookmarked on my Bitcoin Address Look Up Report site @ bitcoinwhoswho dot com. Now here is something puzzling my btc address has 2 numbers at the start of it, before a slew of upper and lower case letters and a few numbers jumbled (34 characters). I thought a btc address needed to start with bc1 ?

Whenever I contact/email support at Bitcoin Who's Who - Bitcoin Address Lookup and tell them I have coins stuck at where they say they are, they never get back to me. (crickets)
I believe my bitcoin wallet was made to the best of my ability from a reputable link on the net and I went through many checks and balances to make sure everything looked legit before depositing coins there.
But of course ignorance is no excuse for failure.
