With the latest version of ParaView I was experiencing the video issue related to the Intel graphics driver, reported in other discussions on this forum.  
Unfortunately after updating to the latest driver version 26.20.100.7870, for the Intel UHD graphics 630, the whole render view turned black permanently. (see below)

At the moment to avoid the issue I am working with the 5.6.2 version

Hi Marco,  
On my home Dell laptop, running Intel graphics, I believe I had to back up to an older Intel driver. I haven’t messed with it in 6 months, however.

The issue you mention is this one : [https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/issues/19364](https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/issues/19364), but it is looking a bit different.

can you try with nvidia gpu or with an earlier intel driver ?
