All images and text have suddenly been greyed out / transparent on illustrator??

I've tried everything. Checked if the layers have been locked, checked if it's a display issue. I might have clicked something accidentally on the keyboard that was a shortcut to something. No idea how to get this back to normal colour!!

 

Only when I click into a clip mask, it shows it's actual colour (as shown below). Not even sure what's going on! If someone can give me some suggestions on what I should try / do, that would be hugely appreciated!

You are in Isolation mode, pressing Escape or using this arrow will get you back to normal mode.

Hi there, no that was just because I was clicked on an image. When I'm not clicked on an image, I'm not in isolation mode.

I have the same problem. I've used Illustrator for years and I know how to exit isolation mode. This is a bug added with the newest release.
