Intel GPU driver update 26.20.100.6708 on windows breaks Qt GUI --> FIXED by UPGRADING intel drivers

Using ParaView on windows with the 26.20.100.6708 <= intel driver < 26.20.100.7528 can lead to a broken GUI.

Steps to reproduce :

  • Run windows with the intel driver and chipset (driver version may matter, tbd)
  • Run ParaView with the intel driver
  • Show the color editor dock widget (which contains a QVTKOpenGLNativeWidget)
  • Open a datafile
  • GUI looks like this or is all black : image

A workaround is to use the actual GPU of the laptop instead of the intel chipset, or to upgrade your driver after 26.20.100.7528 or to not upgrade the GPU driver
