This could be a graphics driver problem. Couple of things you could try:

Ensure both your OS and drivers are fully up-to-date (and use official GPU drivers, not those provided by windows or tablet/laptop maker).
Try to run Blender through Software OpenGL, this will be much slower however, if everything works then it means that the bug is spefic for your GPU/Driver and you should report the bug to your GPU vendor instead.

  On MS-Windows: Download [[ http://download.blender.org/ftp/sergey/softwaregl/win64/opengl32.dll | this dll ]] and copying it so its located in the same directory as 'blender.exe' and run Blender normally. [you can remove the DLL after the test]

Marking as incomplete until we have these tried...

My drivers are up to date. Could it have something to do with the Intel GPU?

@lichtwerk Hi there! I tried the opengl file you suggested. It slowed down everything to near standstill. But yes it worked. So I assume the issue is the gpu. I bought a new gpu with cuda and it's modern (and I think compatible) and it's on the way. So should that (hopefully?) resolve things?

Most likely yes it should work with the new nvidia card. Depending on the card and drivers there could be some issues, but in general Blender should work fine.
