This might be intentional. The asset browser has been shifted to "experimental features" and as such a lot of the functionality available in previous builds of Blender has been hidden unless the experimental feature is enabled. To enable this feature, follow these steps:

  1. From the top of Blender select Eidt -> Preferences and a Preferences window should open.
  2. In the Preferences window click on the Interface tab and enable the option Developer Extra under the Display sub-section.
  3. On the left of the Preferences window there should now be a Experimental tab. Click on it.
  4. Now enable the Extended Asset Browser option.

Does this return the functionality you're expecting?

To enable this feature, follow these steps: 1. From the top of Blender select `Eidt -> Preferences` and a `Preferences` window should open. 2. In the `Preferences` window click on the `Interface` tab and enable the option `Developer Extra` under the `Display` sub-section. 3. On the left of the `Preferences` window there should now be a `Experimental` tab. Click on it. 4. Now enable the `Extended Asset Browser` option. Does this return the functionality you're expecting?

That does indeed solve things - thanks very much, Alaska. In case this catches others out, could I suggest that a similar message be added to the Asset Tracer window in its default state?
