if by "all my stars" you mean both real stars and procedural stars, you can try and reset settings to default: From the main toolbar click on the settings widget, then click on "Reset settings" on bottom-left of the window, then "Really reset settings" to the right.
If you see only real stars, or only procedural stars, go to settings > filter objects, and see if both "Real" and "Procedural" boxes of the "Stars" filter are enabled.

I totally get how frustrating that must be! It happened to me once, too. First, I’d suggest restarting the app—sometimes that does the trick. If that doesn’t help, check if there’s another update available, since they might have released a quick fix. Clearing the cache can also work wonders. If nothing seems to bring the stars back, reaching out to SE’s support team could really help; they usually have insights into these kinds of issues. Hope you get it sorted soon!

Try checking your display settings, as updates can sometimes reset options to default, making stars difficult to see. Also, check if your graphics drivers are up to date, as incompatibilities may occur after a software update.
