Probably related to #58295.

I don't really understand. Is it black if you also go back into solid mode? can you try the matcap/flat/xray options?

I have exactly same issue - it is black when you go to solid / wireframe mode no matter if it's matcap/flat/xray options.
When I removed user preference and open using the blender workaround --debug-gpu-force-workarounds), it shows as dark grey but with weird ghost lines.

I have the same problem

Windows 8.1 Pro

blender-2.80-91a155833e59-win64

Intel 4600 Graphics

I wasn't expecting much, given my laptop is a few years old and doesn't have a discrete gpu.

v2.79 seems to work fine.

Symptoms are exactly like the video posted by beez zaen.

Let me know if I can help by adding any extra information.

Same here. Almost exact same specs as Gareth, except it's Windows 8.1 Enterprise instead of Pro
The CPU's an i5-4570T and the machine has 4GB of RAM.
I've already tried a Factory Reset (in Blender) to no avail.

I do have a few additional symptoms, though:
After switching to LookDev view and then going back to Solid, the default cube shows up in bright pink (texture missing?).
Also, after having switched to LookDev, Wireframe mode shows with a bright red gradient in the background and Rendered view has a solid red background with the default cube showing in solid, shadeless black.

Been having this issue with Blender 2.8 nightlies for at least a couple of weeks now.

No such issues with Blender 2.79 on the same machine or with Blender 2.8 on other machines that have a dedicated graphics card (this one only has a simple on-board GPU).

Cheers,

Oliver

Same "colorful" experience as Oliver with
Win 7 Pro SP1 64bit
8GB RAM
Intel HD Graphics 4600
blender-2.80-91a155833e59-win64

When rotating view around the pink cube in solid mode you can get other colors as well:

Confirming happening for me (black screen at start, by switching to lookdev I got a flickering grid of mulmtiple color after that got a lot of graphical glitch and funky color everywhere ) :

Win 7 Home
Intel HD Graphics 4600 (on a 4th gen CPU)
blender-2.80-490a385c8124-win64

Updated driver to latest available, but look like support for Win7 one for 4th gen CPU stopped on driver ver 15.36 where Win 10 one goes up to 15.40.

Same issue here. Same specs than Oliver.
Graphic drivers are updated but issue is still there.
