Update macOS Catalina Security Update 2022-002 10.15.7 install hangs - any solutions?

Has anybody found out how to stop the recent Catalina Security Update from crashing on Late-2012 Mac Mini. It bricks the whole computer.

I have upgraded to 16 gigs of ram and a 1 TB SSD a couple of years ago and the machine WAS a rocket.

I even went through the ardious process of downgrading to old copies of 10.10 and then 10.12 and then 10.14 to see if I could be satisfied with them. The problem is Adobe didn't work, then on10.14, Photos does not work.

So, again, I updated to Catalina and all was good until the security update ran. I tried to stop auto updates and the bloody option is grayed out. Last night it updated itself and died. Can you say FRUSTRATED.....
