Hi,
After updating Manjaro, Nvidia drivers stopped working, and after searching the forums and trying multiple solutions to similar problems, I’m still hitting a stone wall, so I’m posting this thread hoping that maybe someone can help me solve the issue. I’ll post my inxi output in accordance to the rules. I apologize if there might be any typos, this is my girlfriend’s PC and she sent me the output as pictures. The whole problem started when she tried to update firefox and it somehow borked the entire system. Neither of us is super pc-savvy. I used some software to convert it to text and proof-read it for typos, but I might have missed some.

I had a similar issue around a year earlier when the update changed kernel version, and the solution then was to simply switch to the previous kernel, but this update had removed the previous one. So I followed a bunch of other threads here and tried different things.
I started with
sudo pacman -Syyu
but it failed half-way through due to libcanberra update breaking dependency with libcanberra-gstreamer, along with some old VR packages for the Oculus DK2, so after following some other threads, I removed those manually and tried again with
sudo pacman -Syyuu
yet the problem persisted.
At this point I tried
inxi -G
and got this output
Graphics:

Display: Server: X.org 1.20.11 driver: loaded: N/A tty: 80x30

So for whatever reason, there seemed to be no drivers installed, so once again I scoured the forums and tried to implement solutions from other threads:
sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300
which outputted
Successfully installed video-linux
yet the problem still persisted.
sudo mhwd -a pci free 0300
gave the following output:
skipping already installed config 'video-linux' for device 0000:06:00.0 (0300:10de:2184) Display controller nVidia Corporation TU116 [geforce gtx 1660]
inxi -G gave the same output as before, still seemed to indicate there are no drivers for the graphics card and display server.
I’m at a loss as to what the next step should be, so I decided to post here before I screw up the system even more. The inxi output at the top is taken after all the fumbling around I did in terminal, so it is the most recent.
