Enhance Option in Lightroom

I have a MacBook Air (m3). I run Lightroom 8.4, fully up to date. In the old days, like a few weeks ago/maybe months I could load my photo, click on Photo, scroll to the bottom of that menu and there at the bottom was Enhance. It AI'd a new PNG to create a bigger file with detail filled in by AI. It's not there any more and I can't find anything that does the job instead. I click on Super Resolution, it appears to think about stuff for 20 secs and nothing discernably changes. The file size is still the same. Any guidance/ideas would be great. It was the best feature and it's gone!

If you look at the Cropped Dimensions (Info Panel) before and after checking the Super Resolution option, you will see that the pixel dimensions have doubled.

Thanks Rikk for the quick reply. 

Interesting the dimensions appear to have doubled from roughly 2560 x 3840 to 5120 x 7680 which looks great but the file size stays as 1.81Mb

Thoughts?

Your file is still your file - untouched. The Edits contain the additional pixel data. If you export your Super Res'd file to a DNG and look at the DNG, you should see what I am talking about.  The DNG will be much bigger than your raw file.
