Solidworks losing functionality (after Windows update)?

Hi, I am working with Solidworks 2021 SP5.1 in a Windows 10Pro environment and one of the new(er) features was, that if you would select the Sketch of any design item, it would already display its dimensions - enabling it to quick select and alter, if needed, without actually opening the sketch editor. But recently I lost that need little function. How did that occur?

I have thought of it, and can only consider two causes: either the latest Windows update (recently enforced by our company IT support) killed this option or I have accidentally toggled it 'off', but I can't find it anywhere in the System Options.

Is there anyone with an answer to this?

Accepted answer

Was it "Instant3D"? (it is marketing gimmick..)
I recommend you keep it off and just double click the sketch instead
