and also, you probably just need to toggle the OpenGL option: Settings -> Configure Krita -> Display -> click OpenGL checkbox

>Q:
> Krita start with a black canvas and nothing changes when you try to draw/shows a black screen on my Windows system with an Intel GPU

>A:
>This is a bug in the Intel OpenGL driver. Update to 10.18.14 or later. On Windows 8.0 and 8.1, you might need to manually install the driver. Follow the instructions from the Intel Website. No, we don’t know either why they made installing an updated driver so hard.

>As an alternative turn off OpenGL under Settings → Configure Krita → Display

>Since January 2016 however, we've noticed that the Intel drivers broke again. We hope to fix this issue in Krita 3.0.
