Issues with Intel HD Graphics 4000 & Java Version 8

[RMcDo6]

I currently have an issue when installing Oracle Java Version 8 (JavaSetup8u241), where by when launching this application the "Welcome to Java" screen is blank.

In researching this Oracle advise to disable anti-aliasing feature in the Intel HD 4000 driver - in doing this there is no change.

Current configuration:

HP Desktop 4300 SFF, i7-37705 CPU, 8GB RAM

Windows 10 Pro - Version 1909 Build 18363.592 (current)

Intel HD Graphics 4000 Driver 10.18.10.4252 (current)

I have tried various options.

Applied updates for the Intel HD Graphics 4000 Driver to the latest version 10.18.10.5100 - no change

Applied updates for Windows 10 Pro

Running the installation of Java 8 in SafeMode - no change

There is a lot of advice on the Web but I have not been able to find an answer as yet to this issue.

Hoping that Intel may be able to shed some light on this issue.

Thank you for your assistance.

Sounds to me like oracle is trying to make the problem Intel's, when it is Java setup that needs to be fixed.

My question - Do you really need to install Java? Most users do not.

In short yes I do need Java as I am using it in conjunction with JMRI for model railway control.

That is my problem not knowing which supplier to contact regarding this issue.

Fingers pointing in all directions ...... Cheers

So, Oracle gave you the wrong or incorrect answer. Ask them for the correct one.

Hi Doc

I have emailled Oracle and I am currently awaiting a reply.

This is actually the URL for this so called fix - https://www.java.com/en/download/help/blank_controlpanel.xml

Thanks Ronn

Hmmm.... Can you use remote desktop to access this machine? If so, I would try to access it via remote desktop, do the java update, and then log off remote desktop. It just may work.

Hi Doc

I have tried both local access to the pc & remote desktop with the same results - when launching the installation application the "Welcome to Java" screen is blank

It is not an update but a new installation of Java (JavaSetup8u241)

1. Have a computer equipped with a Intel HD 4000 graphic card, for example the Lenovo ThinkPad T430.
2. Have Java 8 JRE installed.
3. Run the Java Configuration panel in Windows. Verify that it uses Java 8 by opening the About window.
4. If your main display is an external monitor, using a different graphic card, like NVIDA, you can observe that the visual display is correct.
5. When dragging the application window, or the About window, on the display using the Intel HD 4000, you will see visual defects on screen.
