Yes, I also found this post. I tried most of the fixes:  
Possible solutions are:

- Upgrade to ParaView 5.8.1 or more recent  
– have tried this and more recent
- Use another GPU (eg: NVIDIA instead of Intel)  
– tried right clicking and running with NVIDIA
- Downgrade your Intel driver to the version before 26.20.100.6708  
– My Intel driver version is 10.18.10.357, which seems appropriate, and in any case I am unable to roll back the driver (the option is unaccessible)
- Upgrade your Intel driver to the version after 26.20.100.7528  
–I’ve tried updating my driver and it says it is up to date
- Use mesa instead : [How to run ParaView (including the binary release) using Mesa on Windows](https://discourse.paraview.org/t/how-to-run-paraview-including-the-binary-release-using-mesa-on-windows/4321/2)  
– I’ve followed the steps and ran it using Mesa on Windows and am experiencing the cam problem
- Downgrade to ParaView 5.6.2  
– not an option
