There are a series of buttons next to the play controls, one of them probably says 'none' right about now
That is the red box indicating fusion is in 'none' render mode. Toggle the button for some-all-none..
None is good for cleanup without processing, all will process every node regardless if you need it for render (great to render thumbnail for all your loaders without having to view them) and the one that is used in final render is called 'some' and that's where you should live most of the time.
Some essentially just processes what is required for the node your displaying, nothing else, no loose branches, or downstream tools.
