# Description
The display resolution of the GUI changed when I was following up the official tutorial to load and render an ex2 file named _disk\_out\_ref.ex2_. Every time I hit the _Apply_ button, things goes weired.
- Elements of the GUI goes larger
- Toolbars are missing
- The render view overlaps with other windows
And interestingly enough, I can still check boxes if I can remember their real locations. It seems that the original GUI is covered by an image.
# Environment
Version: ParaView-5.7.0-Windows-Python3.7-msvc2015-64bit.exe
OS: Windows 10 1909 (18363.476)
> P.S. I successfully tested the same installer on two other PCs (Win10 1903 and 1909).

This is a known issue with Intel graphics and specific driver versions.
[https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/issues/19364](https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/issues/19364)
For me, the solution to this problem is to downgrade the intel hd driver.

It worked! Thanks!
I just upgraded my driver to 26.20.100. **6913** last month. The upgrades are managed by Lenovo Vantage so I have no idea how to downgrade the driver. I installed version 26.20.100.6709 which overwrote the existing one and paraview now works fine.

Make sure to reboot.
If problem still persist, upgrade further, or use mesa, or use another GPU.
