Prefab instantiates with its components disabled

This thread explains what the problem could be. I can't test it now but I'll update this comment when I do

Prefabs can have their components etc enabled on the surface but if you go into the Edit of the prefab they can be disabled there and that's the state they will enter the game. Double click the prefab to edit and check there.

Do you take the prefab from the Hierarchy or from Assets, it may not make a difference but from the Hierarchy it might be trying to Instantiate the destroyed game prefab as so thinking it should be in that state Null. If not try drag drop prefab from Assets to inspector. $$anonymous$$aybe worth a try

I take it from assets. the image above shows the inspector of the prefab

For me, this happens when I think I drag-n-dropped a prefab reference to the field from the project hierarchy, but instead dragged it from the scene hierarchy.

It's very subtle thing, prefab changes propagate to the object and it seems identical in the Inspector, unless you click on on prefab field to see which one it highlights.
