All the meshes in the previewer turned black!

Development Asset Creation
1

As the title says , everything that lets you preview a mesh , shows a black screen , just like the light is turned off .
i mean static mesh viewer , skeletal mesh viewer , even the preview window of the material editor , everything is pitch black ! i can tell the model is there , since i can turn on wireframe mode and see that the model is there , but outside of wireframe mode , blackness !
If i place the meshes in the world , they are fine and look ok , but anything that previews a mesh is pitch black . it is just like when you have no light in an empty scene , and you turn on lit mode !
is there any setting to turn on/off the light in the mesh previewer ? you can choose your mode < lit , unlit …etc > in skeletal mesh viewer , but in lit mode , even skeletal meshes are pitch black… what do i do ?
in the below screenshot , i double clicked on a mesh selected on content browser , which is shipped with engine , to show the issue .

Alt+3 will force unlit mode in mesh windows.

The fact that the actual light is gone sounds more like a bug.

I posted in the answerhub and it solved the problem .
I had the 4.2 preview version and upgrading the latest version < not preview> fixed the problem .
But , why it happened still remained mystery .

Thanks all for the responding .
