We have encountered a number of issues with Intel graphics in the last year or so, but driver updates have mainly resolved most of them.

But there are a couple things you could try. 1). Install an older version of ParaView and see if that works. If it does, that will help us narrow down possible reasons for the transparency you are using. ParaView 4.4 would be a good one to try: https://www.paraview.org/download/ 2). Do you have any add-ons to Windows installed that modify the window system in some way? If so, try disabling or uninstalling those. Thanks, and sorry for the trouble.
