Running my "Mini-ITX 1" (Haswell build with i7-4770K + Gigabyte GA-H87N-WIFI, SMBIOS iMac 14,2) under 10.13.6 build 17G8030. All was fine. Was using a Gigabyte Nvidia GT1030 graphics card and the compatible Web Driver. Per Apple recommendation, attempted the subject security update from the App Store). Result: black screen... monitor indicated video was being received but nothing on screen. So a graphics problem, right? Thing is, I only updated my primary SATA drive, but restarting on my backup drive, which should still have had 17G8030 on it, same problem! Booted to BIOS (version F9), changed to IGFX, moved connector to motherboard display connector, booted to backup drive, and still only a black screen on both drives!
Eventually I disconnected the backup drive, erased the primary drive, used UniBeast 8.3.2 and "Install macOS High Sierra.app" (version 13.6.02) on a 16 GB SanDisk "Extreme" USB to make a "new" High Sierra installation. The installation ran smoothly and I had a new OS, 10.13.6. BUT the build number was (is) 2208!!! The OS runs OK, but as far as I can see there is no Web Driver listed for that insane build number... what happened?
Please note, I tried this re-installation again using a new UniBeast installation (but the same "Install macOS High Sierra.app")... same result! Am I stuck on build 2208 (whatever that is) with IGFX forever?
