Fusion
If you expand your Browser, and expose the Sketch Folder and the fully constrained sketch, do you see the Full Constrained Icon (padlock)? By the way, in my color scheme, my fully constrained sketches turn to white. In fact, change you Environment, in the Navigation bar at the bottom, to Grey Room and see if it makes a difference.

Thank you @jhackney1972.
There is not such padlock icon. I remember I had that icon before (a year back maybe) but not anymore.
I also changed the Environment to Grey Room as seen in the picture below but to not avail.
Interesting thing is when I open your attached file, it shows that it is unconstrained on my system as well. As soon as I edit the sketch, it goes to fully constrained status. Have your tried using a different graphics driver? If you try this, you must restart Fusion 360 between changes.

Yes, the full sketch constraining color change and Browser icon is standard across all licenses. I have attached a model with one sketch. The sketch is missing one dimension to the external circle. How does it open on your system?

Well, it is exactly the opposite in my client. Circle shows up as constrained but as soon as I edit the sketch it goes back to blue.
Before I edit the sketch:
in sketch mode:
Did you add the missing dimension? What happens then?

I will make one last suggestion. Have you used the Fusion 360 Service Utility. This utility is supposed to Repair the application which is different from uninstalling and reinstalling. This article explains how to get to it and use it. When you get into it, choose the Repair Fusion 360 option. Before following this process, make sure Fusion 360 is not running using the Task Manager, as it may be you have more than one copy running.

Please post the solution, if you get one, so we all can learn what to do or not.
@Phil.E , could you direct this issue to the proper channel to see if there is a solution, thank you.

I have some news that might shed some light into this matter.
1) I installed Fusion360 on another computer. Logged in my account after prompting me to suspend the other computer's client. Tried a new sketch, same issue with sketch not showing fully constrained.
2) Created a new autodesk account for my father. Logged him in my Fusion360 client. Tried a new sketch. No issue at all, sketch is shown as fully constrained, lines changed color to black and I have the padlock icon next to the sketch browser icon.
I tried that with three different computers, whenver I log with my account I have the same problem, whenever I log with my father's issue is gone. So, this means the issue is most likely account related?
I also noticed that my father's account Fusion360 window title is Autodesk Fusion 360 (Personal - Not for Commercial Use) and mine is Autodesk Fusion 360 (Personal license expires in 21 days), as shown in the following pictures, along the issue at hand.
Father's account. Sketch shown as properly constrained & there is a padlock icon next to the sketch browser icon. Notice the window title: (Personal - Not for Commercial Use).
Logged as my account. Sketch is shown as not fully constrained & there is no padlock next the sketch icon. Notice the window title: (Personal license expires in 21 days).
I am puzzled now.
Shooting in the dark here - but do you have 3D Sketch enabled on your Preferences?
This shouldn't make a difference, but it is another check.
I'm finding the following:
- Opening Fusion 360 Issue (attached design)
- The sketch is blue and the browser icon shows it is not locked.
- Editing the sketch turns the lines black, and adds the lock to the browser.
- Exiting sketch edit, the black lines and lock remain.
I tried this on a commercial and a free account, no difference was found. This was not surprising because there are never code differences like this for various entitlements.
I can log this, but the report may not do much good. It would help to know how to reproduce the issue from scratch, which will enable debugging. I created a rectangle and circle sketch, just like the one attached, and have no such problem. Please help identify what part of the workflow leads to this result to help developers work on the problem.

Let me say again, and be crystal clear, there are no software changes related to sketch constraints or line colors that happen for different entitlements (free users vs paid vs students) nor are there any that happen because of your current entitlement period coming to a close in the near future.
There may be an add-in that is causing this. Have you tried turning them all off?
