On my 2012 Mac mini, which has the Intel HD 4000 graphics, Google Earth Pro has been crashing for me too since the security update. It works fine on my 2019 MBP (which is running Catalina with the same update).


I also have another issue on my Mac mini since the update; any window that has a horizontal scroll bar will auto-scroll to the right when you mouse over it. The only way to stop it is to manually resize the window to the point that the scroll bar isn't needed any more.

I encountered a similar issue, trying to use Google Maps street view on my 2012 Mac mini. It's fine without the 2021-007 Catalina update; it breaks after the update was applied. I re-installed Catalina without the update.


Out of curiosity, has anyone been brave enough to try to replace the HD4000 driver code with the pre-update versions? I found these directories that might be applicable.


/System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelHD4000Graphics.kext/

/System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelHD4000GraphicsGLDriver.bundle/

/System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelHD4000GraphicsMTLDriver.bundle/

/System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelHD4000GraphicsVADriver.bundle/
