Hi there!
SHORT VERSION: After installing the latest Intel HD Graphics 4000 driver (15.33.53.5161 - 2020-10-23) for my CPU (i7-3770), via IDSA, Windows 10 starts loading but hangs during boot on a black screen.
LONG VERSION: I have an Intel Core i7-3770 that was running with a NVidia GPU until today. The power supply died, I replaced with an old one that doesn't support the GPU and could at least boot Windows 10 using the Intel HD Graphics 4000. But then Intel® Driver & Support Assistant told me there was an update for the display driver, so I installed it and restarted. Now Windows won't finish the boot process anymore: it starts loading, shows the boot progress animation for a couple of seconds, then a black screen and it hangs there.
First I tried to downgrade the display driver via Safe Mode, but it didn't help (I tried 15.33.53.5161, 15.33.51.5146, 15.33.50.5129 and 15.33.49.5100)... then I noticed I already had downloaded (and probably installed) the latest version (15.33.53.5161) a long time before...
Finally, I uninstalled the driver in Safe Mode, and after restarting Windows booted up again! Just to be sure, I restarted one more time (without installing/uninstalling anything)... and it hanged again! 🤦
Once again, I entered Safe Mode, uninstalled the display driver, restarted and Windows seemed to load again, but this time it hangs right after displaying the desktop.
Does anybody have any ideas how I can solve this problem?
Thank you!

FWIW, my temporary "solution" was to start Windows in Safe Mode and uninstall the HD Graphics 4000 drivers, removing them. After doing this about 3 times, Windows ended up using the "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter". Performance was awful, but it was stable.
I bought a new PSU and reinstalled my NVidia GPU, so everything is fine now. 🙂

Restore from a system restore point
Otherwise find an option in mainboard BIOS, where you can select sth. like "iGPU only"

Thanks for the tips! But I have only one restore point (that already contains the new driver), and I had already changed the BIOS setting from "Auto" to "IGFX" (which didn't seem to affect the issue at all).
