This is called `Level Of Details (LOD)`. You can disable that from `Edit > Settings > Render View` by setting a high `LoD Threshold`

I do want to mention that LOD has it’s advantages. You are basically spinning a smaller version of your data, and LOD will allow you to move your dataset with (as a guess) 10 to 100 times better frame rates than the original dataset. Obviously, your mileage may vary depending on the size of the dataset.
