Description

Symptoms appear to be the same as https://github.com/Microsoft/DirectX-Graphics-Samples/issues/16

Of note, this does not occur in the Debug or Profile configuration, only Release.

Lenovo ThinkPad T450s, i7-5600U, HD Graphics 5500, running Windows 10 Pro 1803 (17134.472), Intel Driver version 20.19.15.5058 (the latest available from Lenovo).

No useful debug output, sorry.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the ModelViewer black screen in the Release configuration on the reported Intel HD 5500 hardware, then compare it with Debug and Profile builds. Review the attached ModelViewer reproduction and the linked issue 16 for relevant symptoms. Done means the model renders normally in Release while particle effects continue to work.
