How can I disable multitasking? It is too complex for me.
I am old and just want to use the iPad to do one thing at a time. Sometimes an awkward guesture results in multiple open windows for example by safari. I hate that. Please help.

Presumably your iPad is running iPadOS15.
Unlike iPadOS14 and earlier versions, multi-tasking cannot now be disabled from settings. Multi-tasking has received a significant overhaul, both simplifying its use and introducing new controls.
Key to accessing and controlling multi-tasking is the small “three-dot” button that is found at the top-centre edge of the screen.
More information about using multi-tasking can be found in this support page:
