I see the usual entry under the Tools menu, using my local development site, and I also see it if I create a brand new WordPress site and install the latest version there.
Could it be the result of a conflict of some kind?

Ah, yes. Some plugins that include Action Scheduler deliberately choose to hide that menu entry, probably to reduce the amount of ‘noise’ in the admin environment or else, perhaps, to prevent users from tinkering with scheduled actions.
On our side, there is not a lot we can do about that—and it’s also not an unreasonable choice for plugin authors to make (so long as they are mindful of the impact).
Hey Barry thanks for the insights which gave me the idea to inspect the code of wp mail smtp and i finally found a filter to show the action scheduler sub menu again:
add_filter(“wp_mail_smtp_tasks_admin_hide_as_menu”,”__return_false”);

I’ve added this filter into functions.php but Action Scheduler is not being displayed again.

Are you using a different plugin (than WP Mail SMTP)? Or, are you using another plugin that also includes Action Scheduler?
The best advice here is to go to the support team for each of those plugins, since it’s likely they are responsible for hiding the menu item.
(This is not a problem in Action Scheduler itself.)
