Cant see edges on backside of object since 2023.1 Update

As you can see in the screenshot attached I can see any edge that are on the backside of the object since updating to 2023.1 this morning. Its frustrating as I need to see where they are.

How to I enable this in the viewport?

There is no problem, problem in yours background color guys, just make it little darker and you will see all edges. 🙂 lulz xD

p.s. all what autodesk is need to do, is fix edges color on back side nothing more. cuz right now they same color as background, but if you have good monitor with correct brightness setup they still slightly visible.

not really mate - the edges used to be white, i see that you can make it as per your screenshot but this is a new thing, it was never like this in 2022 and previous.

Facing the same issue for an year now, Today I figured out that the back face edges are actually visible but the color is set to grey same as viewport background, a temporary solution is to change the viewport BG color, under customize user interface >> color >> element >> viewport change the viewport BG color to a darker or lighter color then all the edges will appear. however in customize user interface >> color >> Element >> geometry >> backface lines is also set to grey by default but changing it does not effect anything.

I have the same issue, also my edges are barely visible, since they got the same color as the background now, putting my background to gradient helps a bit, but makes it still hard to notice.

Alright guys I think I found the solution!
The edges are not missing they are just the same color as the viewport background.
So go to the Customize/Customize User Interface/Colors and set the background color just a bit lighter than it is set by default and you will be able to see your edges. 
I hope this helps!
