Users can also choose to download individual package installers and either use a combo update for MacOS or a standard update. The combo update allows a Mac to be updated from an earlier version of Mojave, for example to jump directly from 10.14.3 to 10.14.6, whereas the standard version must be installed on the preceding release.
After installing 10.14.6 update on an MBA with Intel HD Graphics 6000 I have the problem that when I quit an SDL 1.2 application that was in full screen mode (window mode is not affected) before the whole WindowServer crashed and I need to login again as if I had rebooted the system. It happens with all SDL 1.2 applications I tested so far (e.g. DOS-Box or Super DX-Ball).

You might try using the Combo Update package installer instead, which will update directly from 10.14.4 to 10.14.6. The Combo Update can be downloaded directly from Apple by following the links in the article or at the link below.
You can check for any available system software updates in the System Preferences > Software Update control panel. Other downloaded apps are updated through the Mac App Store > Updates section, or through the app or developer if the app came from somewhere other than the App Store.
I liked to the Combo because I don't know what version you are updating from. But even from 10.14.5 the Combo is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update, so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before. It should preserve all your data and settings but that said you should always have a backup.
Apple has now released two Supplemental updates for macOS Mojave 10.14.6. The first macOS Mojave 10.14.6 Supplemental Update #1 (18G87) was released on August 1st. You can take a look at what was included inside the first Supplemental Update in the link below. The second one, which was released today is called macOS Mojave 10.14.6 Supplemental Update #2 (18G95). Apple does not call the updates #1 or #2 but I am so you can understand that two different Build Versions are out there.
A combo update only updates operating system files; it doesn't overwrite any user data. Even so, it's a good idea to use your preferred Mac software to back up your data before applying any system update.
If you have a Mac that's running the next-to-latest version and want to update it, the delta is technically all you need. But some people (myself included) tend to prefer the combo, for a couple of reasons:
I update a lot of computers, so to save time I carry the latest updates on my tools HD. It's simplest to just carry the combo update and not worry about the deltas as well, since you can use the combo anyplace the delta would be appropriate.
If anything has gone wrong with any of the previous updates, running the combo will generally clean up the problem, while a delta might leave it broken. In fact, sometimes re-running the combo on an already-updated computer will fix problems like this, so it's a useful trick to have in your troubleshooting repertoire. (Mind you, the types of problems this solves are rare; but they tend to be ones that otherwise would've involved hours of troubleshooting and hair-tearing, so it's often worth a try.) (Also, you can't/shouldn't reinstall even a combo update after applying a supplemental or security update that came out after it; that'd be a downgrade, and might cause problems.)
One major recent change is that, starting with macOS Big Sur (aka macOS 11), Apple isn't releasing OS updates in downloadable format. Updates come via the Software Update mechanism, either in System Preferences or with the softwareupdate command. It automatically figures out what update(s) you need, so this question is a bit moot.
The complication I left out is that in addition to the delta and combo minor-version updates I describe above, there are also even-more-minor OS updates, called "supplemental updates" and "security updates" that don't change the version number, just the build number. For instance, the original release of Catalina 10.15.7 was build 19H2, but then Apple released a supplemental update which brought it up to build 19H15, and then security update 2020-001 brought it up to build 19H114, and then security update 2021-001 was build 19H512, and then... well, I'll get to that.
Supplemental and security updates are usually combo-like within the release they apply to. For example, if you have 10.15.7 build 19H2 or 19H15, you can install security update 2021-001 without needing to install the intermediate updates first. But not always -- for some reason, security update 2020-006 for Mojave 10.14.6 required installing security update 2020-005 first (although neither 2020-005 nor 2020-007 required any earlier security updates).
Supplemental updates generally come out right after another update/release, as a quick fix for problems discovered in that update/release. Sometimes, the installers for that release get updated to roll in the supplementary update. For instance, if you download either the Mojave 10.6.4 delta or combo update, you'll get a package that includes the updates in the 10.14.6 supplemental update (actually, there were several 10.14.6 supplemental updates, but let's not talk about that).
The supplemental updates for Catalina 10.15.7 are even weirder. The first one wasn't rolled into either the 10.15.7 delta or combo updates. It was also released in two forms itself, a delta version that could only update from earlier builds of 10.15.7, and a "combo" version that -- if I'm reading its Distribution file right -- can only update from 10.15.6 (or be installed on top of itself), but cannot update from earlier builds of 10.15.7!
And then there's this month, February 2021. On Feb 1, Apple released macOS Big Sur 11.2, and also parallel security updates numbered 2021-001 for Mojave 10.14.6 and Catalina 10.15.7, both in the usual combo-within-version form. Normal so far. But almost immediately after that, on Feb 8, another round of security updates was released. For some reason, the Big Sur update got a new minor version number (11.2.1), for Mojave this was called Security Update 2021-002, and the Catalina update was called "macOS Catalina 10.15.7 Supplemental Update" (not to be confused with the "macOS 10.15.7 Supplemental Update (Delta)" and "macOS 10.15.7 Supplemental Combo Update" that came out earlier).
But the naming on this new Catalina 10.15.7 update is even more inconsitent than that. If you look at that download page for it, the title is "Security Update 2021-001 (Catalina)" (identical to the Feb 1 update), but the body text calls it "macOS Catalina 10.15.7 supplemental update". If you download the file, it's named "SecUpd2021-001Catalina.dmg" (again, identical to the earlier update's filename). Mounting it reveals a volume named "macOS Catalina 10.15.7 Supplemental Update" containing an installer package named "SecUpd2021-001Catalina.pkg" (again, identical to the earlier update's filename). Then, when you open the package in the Installer application, it calls itself "macOS Catalina 10.15.7 Supplemental Update".
Continuing the process started in macOS High Sierra (10.13), which issued warnings about compatibility with 32-bit applications, Mojave issues warnings when opening 32-bit apps that they will not be supported in future updates. In macOS Mojave 10.14, this alert appears once every 30 days when launching the app, as macOS 10.15 will not support 32-bit applications.[6]
The problems appear to be in the BridgeOS update, which is specific to Macs with T1 or T2 chips. The version of BridgeOS or iBridge, 16.16.6568.0.0, which ships with these updates appears to work correctly in the 10.14.6 update, but can cause problems with sleep and wake in the Sierra and High Sierra Security Updates 2019-004.
Apple has now released two Supplemental updates for macOS Mojave 10.14.6. The first macOS Mojave 10.14.6 Supplemental Update #1 (18G87) was released on August 1st.

A combo update is an update that includes all the changes made since the original release of any major version. This type of update reinstalls the drivers and files from previous versions. In short, a combo update contains all the minor updates made in a particular version of macOS.Whenever Apple releases any system update, it does so in two forms: a delta update and a combo update. A delta update can only be updated from the previous version. You can only update macOS 10.8.2 if you already have the 10.8.1 version.
A combo update, on the other hand, updates your macOS up to the latest version. So, a 10.8.2 combo update can be done from either the 10.8.0 version or the 10.8.1 version.In the same light, the 10.7.5 update can be run on all systems from 10.7.0 to 10.7.5. This is a great way for Apple users to automatically get all the updates up to the latest version.Related: How to reset Terminal on macOS
