Don’t see the point in updating then. Although I suspect it’s done because this iOS update is to fix the ability to jailbreak the last update. So nice of Apple to block the ability to jailbreak which as I understand a court of law instructed them to allow?
My MacBook Pro has been sitting like this for the last 7 minutes without the progress bar moving. Is this normal?
Edit: ended up powering it down and restarting. The update did not go through, but I might as well wait for Catalina now, as I have no issues with the previous macOS 10.14.6 (18G87) version.

next time - WAIT, it should be fine. be patient
I guess 'normal' is relative but it took over 15 minutes to install on my 2017 MBP after the download. I'll do the desktop when I get home.
At the risk of sounding lame - would Mine Craft be considered working with a very large file? My Mac will occasionally crash the OS, I'm not sure if I'm hitting a Java bug, or hitting a non-maskable memory error. I'm hoping this fixes it. I don't have many vices, but that's one of them.
It appears that Apple released a new 10.14.6 Combo Update today (Aug 26), so I’m guessing it incorporates today’s new Supplemental Update. The previous (Aug 1) 10.14.6 Combo and Supplemental Updates are no longer available from Apple’s web site.
At any rate, after you install today’s Supplemental Udpate, your build number gets updated to 18G95, so if that’s your build number after installing the Combo Update, then you should be up to date.
It was just strange that the update progress bar did not move at all over all this time, so there was no way for me to tell whether it was updating or simply got stuck. Might reattempt the update over the next few days.
Sounds like this will fix the dreaded performance problem in VMware Fusion introduced in 10.14.6.
So now we have two versions of 10.14.6! The 'old' combo update and the 'new' combo update. With a new combo update it really should be called 10.14.7.
It’s still very similar to the original OS X. Dock, finder, system folder structure, etc. I hope that whatever they deliver as 11 really turns another page entirely.
I'm thankful they're polishing Mojave as much as possible because I (and my work) can't upgrade to Catalina for a few more years.
They need to stop with the hard-limit on .6, just call it macOS 10.14.8.

This is the first time an update has fixed something that directly affected me. You can read about it here:

Very curious as to why Apple now hides when updates are available? I used to get a notification or at least the App Store had a red mark indicating an update was available.
The only way I knew is by reading this article. I found the update by clicking on about this Mac-would a new user even know to look there?
Apple needs to go back to basics and make the OS as easy as possible to use, not more difficult

Nothing is being hidden. The update is recent enough that your computer hasn’t noticed it yet, is all.
My theory is they don’t send out notifications right away incase there is a bug in the update. A smaller pool of people get it right away and if it all seems fine for them, Apple notify everyone else.
You may be right. But my theory is that Apple doesn't want you to take any interest whatsoever in when updates are available. Instead you turn on automatic updates and Apple will take care of everything. Bliss....
