The lines (Curves) are not visible! Help

This is weird, the lines are not visible unless it is selected only. The 3D model works fine, but the curves are not visible.

This is my system info:

This is something that helped me and could be the same problem.

RHINOCEROS>Preferences>Display Modes

Select “WIREFRAME” (e.g.) and “OBJECTS”

Scroll Down to CURVES and set Curve Width to something greater than 1.

Do the same for other display modes.
