2021-007 Security Update Catalina causes crash of Fusion 360

I'm having issues with ONE APP, it's a financial app that has everything basically there. The developer doesn't know whats going on. It never happened until right after an ethernet plugged update to the security release. Right after, nothing but problems.

I hope someone may find a fix since I doubt Apple will. What's more, I think they broke HD4000 drivers purposely ... After all it's an old Apple's practice to force people buy their new hardware. Well, I'm not buying shxt, rolling back to whatever used to work instead. Legal or not, it's an unethical practice.

The problems all seem to be centred around the GPU (Graphics processing unit). Some applications allow for switching the use of this. Chrome for instance allows for switching off hardware acceleration which allows chrome to run in slow mode.

BTW Catalina Securitiy update 2021-007, Big Sur 11.6.1 and Monterrey 12.0.1 broke a lot of T2 based machines as well.

The issue is even worse for those users because computers were bricked and unable to boot. But... since those are newer machines they issued a firmware fix... I don't how easy it could be to upgrade firmware without OS ... but then... just in case they are selling new Apple Silicon machines.

The situation for HD4000 users is to say the least discouraging. Why release a security update and break thousands of old but working computers?

If Apple wants some of my confidence in them back they better release a new security update or at least some instructions to fix what they've broken.

I purposely didn't buy a MacBook Pro because of the user-hostile practices of un-repairability (r2r), un-upgradability, and poor usability. Apple could win be back as a customer, but actions like these makes me think I made the right choice.

No. The latest security update was actually a small boost in value—not a theft of it—Apple will not fix what they don’t see as broken. Our machines are “vintage” now. See, you might have been under the delusion that these were fully functional, upgradable, repairable machines. No. They’re too old. They should be barely usable at best by now. The durable, modular manufacturing that went into them was the only mistake. Soooo old. Don’t you know laptops need to be replaced ever 5 years forever no matter how people use them or how technology develops? Frankly it would be gross if Apple didn’t euthanize them with software updates and just allowed us to continue having access to the hardware we own. Put the fossils behind glass, they are museum pieces now.

Ah, they already provided one , you have "vintage" hardware we do not care anymore.

My mid-2012 Macbook Pro is experiencing same problems. Chrome cannot access WebGl. Google Earth wont run. Bug seems to affect Google products especially.

Yeah, the same problem :(

If you work well and nothing worries you - do Update, Apple give happiness.

Mac mini late 2012

macOS Catalina 10.15.7

2,9 GHz Intel Core i7

Intel HD Graphics 4000

Why are you giving your labor to Apple?

I turned off "automatic graphics switching" in energy saver/system settings and fusion360 now starts.

It seems this security update breaks OpenGL on Intel HD Graphics. Is Apple going to fix this?

Apparently Apple doesn’t look at “discussions” You have to submit bug reports which it’s doubtful that they give any feedback.

Same here, updated two Macs with the 008 one no problems whatsoever, so I suppose it's safe to do the others too.
