Flickering in task bar and most applications, some worse than others

Getting this sinking feeling that all I’m doing is discovering new ways for things not to work.

Its probably worth it to copy+paste this in Known issues and solutions from the latest release update.

This is from the Known Issues and Solutions comment (as sparked by @Kobold )

Optional switch to older Nvidia driver

For a list of possible drivers for your hardware run

mhwd -l

If your system was automagically rolled to a supported kernel you may run into conflicts with the meta package(s).

Remove the meta packages

sudo pacman -R linux-nvidia-meta linux-meta

If you are using a desktop system and you are in doubt if you are affected

• Before you reboot - remove the current driver

sudo mhwd -r video-nvidia

• Use an earlier driver mhwd -i video-nvidia-{575xx or 570xx}
  Example command

sudo mhwd -i video-nvidia-575xx

A slightly different method with same result (replace 575xx with the driver you are seeking)

sudo pacman -Syu linux-nvidia-575xx
