I had not used my laptop for about 5 days during the holidays, so today I booted in my main OS (Manjaro KDE). No problem booting and restoring browser pages etc. Then I proceeded checking for any available updates and also doing them. The update process returned some errors for some of them, I then rerun the update process and it managed to complete. However I got a warning/error, saying that it was long ago that I restarted my laptop, that there is a new kernel available and should do so.
I tried to restart, then suddenly everything was clickable but no process was available to start, I tried to start the terminal but it also wouldn’t start. Then the screen went black and there was a message about going into tyy or tty or something with ctrl+alt+f2. Now I knew this alternative workspace as I’ve there before, only problem was that there was only a dash flashing and I could not type the command that the message told me to. So I hard restarted my laptop, after that I am no longer able to boot, as I am stuck all the time at the booting manjaro logo. Grub seems fine as it recognizes manjaro and windows 10 partitions.
I tried booting from live usb and rerun the update, but this action also produced a bunch of warnings about which kernel I am using and such…
I would really appreciate any help and guidance as I really need to work…
EDIT: I should also mention that my partitions are encrypted…

if there are no errors, rerun update again: pacman-mirrors -f 5 && pacman -Syyu
if there are no errors from the update, and you are up to date, provide output from: mhwd-kernel -li
did you tried booting with different kernels, since you have them installed?
uninstall the 5.19: mhwd-kernel -r linux519
reinstall the other two: mhwd-kernel -i linux515 linux60 --force
if there are no errors, exit chroot: exit
reboot
