Hi, thanks for the report. Any improvements after disabling the filters option?

@PratikPB2123 I'm not OP, but I have the same issue. Yes, the disabling of filters works for the file browser. However, the same thing happens in the asset browser (not sure if it's a separate issue, since it's the same "No Items" file list in there), but turning on the filter and turning it off doesn't make a difference

Thanks. What options are enabled in asset browser filter?
Does this happen with factory defaults?: File > Defaults > Load Factory Settings
Can you check console if any error is captured there?: Window > Toggle System Console

For the File View, all I have enabled in filters are "Folders" and ".blend Files". A few days ago unchecking just the "Folders" option was enough to reset it. Now that I think of it, unchecking filters doesn't always work, but it is the only thing that has worked.
For the asset browser, by default I have no filters on, but enabling the filters (all filters) and disabling filters didn't change the state of the browser.
Loading Factory defaults just fixed my assets browser. My File View has been working for a couple of days now without issue, but was happening very frequently before.
No errors in the system console. Just a couple of warnings about a plug-in's panels.

Did that fix "file browser" issue as well?

Hard to say, as File Browser has been working without issue for a couple of days. I'll keep an eye on both for the time being.

So, we have the same exact problem. Most of the time it works for File Browser, but Asset Browser is not working at all with custom Asset Browser paths. If I open a new fresh blendfile it works, but as soon as I open a pre saved Blendfile nothing shows up. Not our own libraries and also no plugin Lib like Poly Haven Assets. Not even Essentials or Current File marked Assets will load, when Asset Browser stopped working.

This is a quick run-through of it happening this morning:

I tried opening up a file through the File Browser and nothing showed up. The assets in my Asset Browser also disappeared. I tried everything in File Browser to get it show my files. I turned off filters and turned them back on; I individually turned off filter options and then back on; I clicked on settings; I reloaded the folder; I went to other folders; I closed Blender and opened it back up. Nothing changed the fact that there were "no files".

I opened blender back up, and went through the same process. At some point, I saw the assets in my Assets Browser start to populate, just out of nowhere. File Browser was still open and it said "no files" but I decided to close the File Browser and open it back up after my assets loaded, and when I did, my files were showing up again.

Given that "factory defaults" worked. I'd suggest to disable add-on one by one to identify the culprit.

After systematically shutting down each plugin and then restarting the software, I found that the issue with the normals is caused by the Node Preview plugin. When I close the Node Preview plugin and open Blender, the problem is resolved.

@sunkanwei hi, thanks for finding the culprit add-on. I'll wait for confirmation from others.

@PratikPB2123 You're welcome.I'm quite certain that the issue is caused by this plugin, or at least it's one of the issues. There may be other plugins causing the problem as well. However, removing it from my plugin directory seems to resolve the problem perfectly.

Hi, I'm having the exact same problem. I don't have the Node Preview plugin. Disabling all of the add-ons didn't fix the problem, although a factory reset did. I then restored my preferences, and the problem came back.
