Why do objects appear completely black in Material preview?

Hi there…
I’ve looked at questions and answers on this site, also on the internet, but I cannot solve this problem. Any help would be appreciated.
Why is it that all the objects appear black in material preview, but colors are visible in render view? Anything added now with a color assigned will appear back in material view

Thanks a lot for your time

I don’t know why, but I have just re-created the Modeling tab and it seems like it fixed the problem.

First of all, delete the Modeling tab that you currently have. For this, RMB on your tab and select Delete.

Then click on plus icon at the end of all tabs:

In a drop-down list, choose General → Modeling

That’ll create a new Modeling tab

I just got it. The problem was with the Render Pass value under Viewport Shading settings. Just switch from Enviroment to Combined and you’re good to go:
