Black desktop background after update / upgrade

[Rulinux]

After upgrade / update from ManjaroLinux 22.0.5 to 22.1.0 my desktop screen is black and even I do not have any access to any right mouse click menu on the desktop for setting a new one.
To be sure it is an upgrade problem I have reseted with timeshift to 22.0.5. The background was there again. Having done a pacman database update and an upgrade again to 22.1.0 my desktop was gone again, simply black no right mouse menu access.
So it is definitely an upgrade problem. Thanks for your help.

You tagged nvidia but in the information you shared looks like you have:

@Rulinux

Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® UHD Graphics 620

And probably that means is related to this

kernel 5.15.99+ Black/empty screen during boot with i915 Intel gfx. No ways to do anything

Seems there is a regression introduced with 5.15.99 kernel update: [[i915]drm:add_taint_for_CI [i915]] CI tainted:0x9 by intel_gt_init+0xae/0x2d0 [i915] (#8284) · Issues · drm / intel · GitLab ]([i915]drm:add_taint_for_CI [i915]] CI tainted:0x9 by intel_gt_init+0xae/0x2d0 [i915] (#8284) · Issues · drm / intel · GitLab). My thoughts here: [Testing Update] 2023-03-11 - Kernels, Mesa 22.3.7, Phosh, LibreOffice 7.4.6 - #31 by philm

or that you have a laptop with hybrid GPUs and hence you have to add the kernel parameter: ibt=off
See here:

Prime driver not working for my dual gpu laptop

probably adding the ibt parameter would help to boot with the nvidia proprietary drivers… open this file: sudo nano /etc/default/grub and inside this line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT inside the quotes add this parameter: ibt=off dont remove anything, just add it to existing parameters, save the file with ctrl+x, press Y, update grub: sudo update-grub reboot and see if it helped

May be I am wrong but it looks there is also nvidia. I have attached the hardware configuration.

Yes, this seems the case. I have followed your instructions respectively that one of brahma. I have done a reboot and now it works.
Still I had an error message while booting something like this:
“error: no such cryptodisk found …”.

It said press any key to continue.

The blackscreen is gone now after the new settings in grub.

After another software installation the black screen came back even though the done settings
Prime driver not working for my dual gpu laptop remained.
Going into system settings → display settings: I have changed to another resolution and than back to my original. By this workaround the black screen was gone. Obviously there is a problem with graphic card driver.
