    Check to make sure that the Global Transparency isn't too high (Display - Color Visibility - Display tab). If this is set to 100% you won't see embedded nets names.

    sometimes custom color with global transparency combination can cause this, go to Display > Dehighlight and Dehighlight all with "retain object custom color " option disabled.

    Try renaming the pcbenv. This would work sometimes.

    I had the same problem working from my laptop. I was able to see net names after I redirected my primary display to an external monitor.
