Description

System Information
Operating system: Windows 10
Graphics card: Inter HD Graphics 5500 (its just a test laptop, but that shouldn't matter)

Blender Version
Broken: (example: 2.92 Alpha, blender-2.92.0-c9efb5424079-windows64 (daily build), master, 2020-12-24, as found on the splash screen)
Worked: Release Version (and some other 2.92 Alpha Builds from some days ago) on the same hardware and same OS.

Short description of error
Cycles is not shown as Render Engine in the properties menu under "Render Properties" -> "Render Engine". There is only Eevee and Workbench
I build a lite version of Blender yesterday. Cycles was missing, so I built a full and clean version (the CMake File for Cycles was called, I saw that in the logs), but it was still missing. I downloaded the daily build this morning, still missing.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Download the daily build. Try to set the Render Engine to Cycles.

Version 2.92 Alpha

Version 2.91 Official Release

I believe when you build the lite version then switch to a full version, the user preferences from the Lite version are still saved... which means Cycles is disabled. To fix this, try following these steps:

  1. From the top of Blender select Edit -> Preferences
  2. From the bottom left of the preferences window select the three horizontal line and select Load Factory Preferences then open that menu again and select Save Preferences. This will reset all your preferences back to stock removing custom key maps and themes. You have been warned. If you don't want to reset everything, navigate to the Add-ons tab in the preferences menu and search for Cycles and enable it.

That was too easy... Don't know why I didn't do that, thank you!
