Instead of providing no OpenGL driver for Windows 10, Intel provides a driver that fails to load for its discontinued hardware. When a signed software claims to support Windows 10 which is the case of Oracle Java and OpenJDK 1.8.0 update 60 and later, the driver loads to load and Microsoft GDI Generic driver is used instead.

I fear that Java Webstart will follow the same route than applets (deprecated in Java 1.9, removed from Java 1.10). I remind that Java Webstart is mostly unusable without paying for a "trusted" certificate or tinkering the JRE.

If we lied to the the driver somehow, it would load and work but as it's not maintained, the bugs would remain unfixed.

Intel is to blame here, there is nothing that we can do. I don't advise to use an old version of Java as it exposes to vulnerabilities.

On the long term, using Mesa under Windows in these cases might help.
