Everything turns invisible in Cycles Rendering Viewport

[Estelle_Dusk]

Hey so this is my first time doing 3D modelling and using Blender, and I have a problem: when I change to the Cycles rendering engine all my objects turn invisible! They’re still there, like I can click where they are and it’ll highlight them as usual, but I can’t actually see the object. It’s fine if I switch to Eevee or if I go back to the regular view (where you edit and all that, the part before you start to do the rendering stuff). I’m following a tutorial on Youtube by Blender Guru and it was fine before, then recently when I went back to my file I can no longer see the objects. I don’t know if it’s something wrong with my file or if it’s just my computer. I’m not sure if I accidentally changed a setting or something or if it’s just a bug. But below are some photos of what I see. I’ve highlighted all my objects so you can tell where they are.

Here’s what I see when I go to Cycles:

Hey. I signed up only for help you for that problem.

i was having same situation for 2 days and everything was invisible in cycles viewport but i could render it in cycles. i found the solution 5 minutes ago and i didn’t find any solution in any website. So maybe someone read it and solve that weird problem. Otherwise its impossible to find it.

Solution is simple.

Just turn off that play button at the right top corner of viewport. right side of the shading buttons.

i pressed everything and turned on/off everything i could but nothing changed. And i realized that there is a play button and i turned that off and everything became visible like before. i think its something about with animation things and that play button making problem for now.

i hope it works for you too.

I was having the same problem. I would have a mesh object, though selectable, would show as invisible in Rendered View. I found the problem in Object Properties > Visibility > Ray Visibility. All of the boxes were unchecked. I checked Camera and viola, I could see my object.
