Hello,
I’ve recently done a full system update and I wanted to move to PRIME instead of Bumblebee.
In the settings I see:
I tried both “Auto Install Properietary Driver” and manually removing 390xxbumblebee and installing prime. In both cases, I get a black screen on boot with a cursor on the top left.
How do I successfully move to prime drivers? I also noticed many updated drivers are not in the list in the GUI - not sure why this is, they were there before.

Above is a screenshot of the settings panel.
If you get a black screen I suggest to tty, then check first which services are running with
systemctl status optimus-manager.service
systemctl status bumblebee.service
Then remove the drivers and bumblebee, and then install the nvidia one via manjaro hardware detection utility which is described here:
https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/Configure_NVIDIA_(non-free)_settings_and_load_them_on_Startup
Indicates no driver installed for your nvidia card.
Also make sure to check on the nvidia website which drivers are supported 460x or older 390x. Preferably use 460x series if supported. Using the manjaro hardware utility should find it automatically.
Hope I could be of some help. Not easy with these nvidia drivers sometimes.
When I run inxi command with OPTIRUN this is what I get. So the driver is loading. I want the latest driver
