Running Xfce Manjaro stable.
Boots normally shows the many steps on the screen and at shutdown.
After recent massive updates week of Dec 6 Boot hangs .
Runs through TLP system startup/shutdown and then lingers on blinking cursor, no further progress.
Will shutdown if power button is pressed executing many steps.
Used Timeshift to reverse system to before updates, and it runs ok in before updates configuration.
Please advise when safe to update.
It is safe to update for most people.
We cant know what your issue is without more information … such as the update logs, or system information, or what you can do from that state.

The system seems unresponsive in mid boot sequence when hangs at blinking cursor except to power off button. Please direct to a procedure specific files to help you further.
Thanks.
System did boot sucessfully from the live usb made from Manjaro XFCE 2116 2021-10-17 downloaded last week, but not the XFCE I was trying to update.
No one had an idea, nor did I, so I did a fresh install of the OS; then updated with Pamac.
Did install a few programs from AUR, but I have not made any other modifications.
This version is running based on ‘stable’ installed Jan 12.
Thanks for looking.
