Problem with selection tool

Hi,
I have a rather stupid question. I switched from Maya 2020 to Maya 2024 and now I have a problem with the selection tool. Everytime I drag and select I only select the faces on the front. But backface culling is turned off in the settings. Are there any settings that I am missing?
Thanks in advance

You have turned on camera based selection.

Here is a similar post where the culprit turned out to be the backface culling option on meshes.

You can also check to make sure you are using the right graphics card driver for your version of Maya.

Another thing to try is switching the viewport rendering engine to DirectX 11 in the Display Preferences and restart Maya to see if that changes anything. DirectX 11 mode works better on some integrated GPUs and if that works then the problem is likely a graphics card driver issue.
