Unable to Create Common Data Service DB in Default Environment Power Apps

I am unable to create a new Common Data Service Database in my Power Apps default environment. Please see the error text below.

It looks like you don't have permission to use the Common Data Service in this environment. Switch to a different environment, or create your own.

Which as I understand I should be able to create after the Microsoft Business Application October 2018 update as listed in the article available at following link.

https://community.dynamics.com/365/b/dynamicscitizendeveloper/archive/2018/10/17/demystifying-dynamics-365-and-powerapps-environments-part-1

Also when I try to create a Common Data Service app in my default environment, I encounter following error.

The data did not load correctly. Please try again.

The environment 'Default-57e1485d-1197-4afd-b792-5c423ab508d9' is not linked to a new CDS 2.0 instance. The operation 'ListInstanceMetadata' is forbidden for unlinked environments

Moreover I am unable to see the default environment on https://admin.powerapps.com/environments, I can only see the Sandbox environment there.

Any ideas what I am missing here?

Thank you.

Someone else faced a similar issue and I read in one of the threads about deleting the browser cache and trying it again or trying it in a different browser resolved the issue. Could you try these first level steps and check if you still have these issues? Ref: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Common-Data-Service-for-Apps/Default-Environment-Error-on-CDS/m-p/233582#M1281

Also, for your permission error ref: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Common-Data-Service-for-Apps/Common-Data-Service-Business-Flows/td-p/142053

I have not validated these findings. But as these answers are from MS and PowerApps team, hope it helps!
