Yes, the HD4000 driver is working again as before SecUpdate 2021-007
You're welcome :-)

you never know what? should that be apples slogan then? aren’t we supposed to trust apple? “you never know, we can send out an update that will break the computer and then act like it didn’t happen. make sure to buy an external drive” aren’t we supposed to trust apple. it wasn’t even a software update. it was a tiny security update...
I'm too quite disappointed and don't think we should cross fingers anytime a securitey update is released. Apple software isn't at it's best lately but I'm positive they'll patch this issue.
As has been pointed out numerous times there is no need to wait for a patch from Apple. You can restore your system to full functionality by reinstalling Catalina minus the 2021-007 security update. If you use Time Machine to maintain a full backup it is relatively simple to restore your system to the point just before the faulty update was applied. Of course you won’t be protected from the security issues this update fixed but you will have a fully functional Mac.
you mind walking me thru it on discord. do you have to have time machine? i don’t have any backups. but i really need an app that i use for work to start working now because it’s messed up my last 2 weeks without it working
It's not the 90s. A computer without updated security software is not a fully functional computer.

Yours is a false straw man argument. There are many thousands of users still on versions of macOS that are no longer supported or updated. Same goes for Windows users. You can claim whatever you want but the FACT is users who installed the Catalina security update and are now experiencing issues can get back to work instead of castigating Apple for not providing an instantaneous fix.
Without backups, Time Machine or otherwise, you are simply out of luck and up the creek without a paddle. Even if you were to setup Time Machine it would only backup your current installation which contains the problem update. You can backup all your data and reinstall Catalina but the installer will contain the security update by now.
I’ll put this as delicately as possible. The fact that you have no backups to rely on is totally on you. Users who do not backup their systems elicit little sympathy from experienced users. What if your Mac were to be stolen, or destroyed by fire, or the internal drive crashes? The simple answer is you would lose everything with no hope of recovery.
Sorry, no help possible for you. You just wait for Apple to do something.
that’s what i thought. the why do you keep suggesting that as an option so nonchalantly. the majority of users don’t back up their computer. you even said yourself, “most advanced users,” are most users advanced? you’ve suggested as an easy option twice. so, really you’re misrepresenting the severity of the situation by suggesting that, “oh, you can just fix it like this. easy.” when it’s not an easy fix. this isn’t on me. i wish my computer was stolen. i have insurance. everything i need is backed up in the cloud. sorry, i trusted apple not to cripple my device with an update they suggested i should do. the company and wants to be adored and trusted by so many. you’re literally victim blaming. this is not a problem becauxe i was in a shady website or something. it’s literally apple we are talking about. and you want to sit here and say it’s my fault? is that a joke?
In the 90s, you could say a computer that was unsafe to network was still fully functional because of how they were commonly used. If you think a computer with out-of-date security software qualifies as fully functional in the 21st century, that is a difference of opinion. Not a strawman. We know that if we undo the security update that broke our software, our software will work again. You don't need to defend Apple from our malcontent.
Okay, never mind, we’re done here.

I have a 2008 iMac on 10.11, an iMac on 10.12, 2010 Macbook Air on 10.13, and also use a MacBook Pros 2019 10.15. None of these except the 2019 MacBook Pro have the benefit of that latest Security update. But we are still using them, why not, they are all healthy and running well. I guard against any mishaps or unexpected issues by keeping multiple backups current for each one, including different types of backup, cloud backup, clone backups, and Time Machine (the latter allows recovery of older snapshots should the latest backup also become corrupted). I think taking all in balance, I would choose to run Catalina without that very latest update if it were causing the kind of interference with normal computing. And practice safe computing and make frequent backups.

I respectfully disagree with that. And I don't blame you for what has happened, this latest Security Update seems to have been quite crippling for 2012 MacBook Pros. I consider that an oversight by Apple that Apple should address. If an update doesn't work on a specific model, then Apple should not offer (or even allow) it. But I think the majority of users do back up their computers, Apple has made it so easy, all you do (for Catalina) is buy an external drive "for Mac" and it is already formatted for Catalina Time Machine, you connect it and it does Time Machine backups quietly in the background.
The majority of people I know using Macs do backups. Many don't even understand Time Machine, but when they replace their current Mac with a new one, they bring their Time Machine drive in and after someone does the migration for them, everything is just there like it was with the old one. I have done this myself for many friends and family members. It takes an hour or so.
One key reason to do these backups is to guard against an update that does not go well for your Mac. Even Apple knows this can happen:
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211683 "Make a backup. Before installing any upgrade, it’s a good idea to back up your Mac. Time Machine makes it simple, and other backup methods are also available."
Even though this was an UPDATE not an UPGRADE, I still make sure I have multiple backups before an update, security updates in particular have been taking a long time, with multiple reboots, and sometimes firmware updates as well. So I play it safe.
By the way, you might check the above Apple Support link as it shows how to obtain the Catalina installer. If that installer does not include the problematic Security Update, you can wipe the disk, install Catalina, and then not apply the problematic Security Update. Then restore your files (you do say they are backed up in the cloud). Or make a Time Machine backup first, then erase and reinstall (either from the above link or from Recovery Mode), then migrate files only over. I did this once on an earlier MacOS and back then (with High Sierra) after the clean install I was prompted to apply a slew of updates. So avoiding this problematic Security Update might be possible. It might be possible to test this on an external drive. Or if this doesn't work, maybe try first with Mojave and perhaps the upgrade to Catalina won't include the problematic update.
I agree that these acrobatics should not be necessary but just trying to explore some things that might enable folks to start using their Macs the way they want again.
If you’re happy and safe using products that Apple fails to maintain, why bother installing security updates at all for any of their products? Just practice computing hygiene. Then you won’t put undue burden on Apple’s servers and allow those of us who are too paranoid or too dirty to feel secure without updated machines to get ours quicker.
Could someone upload the Intel HD Graphics 4000 drive file? Do you think that could work?
I have a Mac Mini here right Catalina (10.15.7). I did install yesterday the last Security Update but I don't really want to wipe the disk again and restore things from Time Machine (it would save me some time)
