Blender 2.8 opens with black screen #63104

System Information
Operating system: Windows 8.1
Graphics card: Seems to be built in. Adapter : intel(R) HD Graphics family

Blender Versionblender-2.80.0-git.d5cb425b8745-windows64
Broken:
Worked: (optional)

Short description of error

When I start it, the splash screen is displayed properly, but when I click off the splash screen, the view port is just black except for the cursor surrounding a small orange dot, all the menus and tool bars seem to be there. They do alter things but there is no object to work on so it doesn't seem to have much effect.

Following advice this morning on how to get my Windows 7 desktop working, I checked that the graphics driver was up to date, which it was, and I have restarted just to make sure. All with no effect

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Based on the default startup or an attached .blend file (as simple as possible).

What should I do?

We're looking into it, for now the only workaround is to upgrade to Windows 10.
