When will there be Manjaro 20.1 Stable Version?
PS: If KDE has better support for High-DPI screens than GNOME, I will prefer it.

Wow, FINALLY!
New update, nice 
thanks Manjaro team
It works here from Phils patches to 5.8 kernel. It’s no kernel for sure. AMD/AMD here.
Printer says:
journalctl -p err -b
colord-sane[902]: io/hpmud/musb.c 2099: Invalid usb_open: Permission denied
Solution:
sudo usermod -a -G lp colord

First gen i7 CPU and Nvidia GPU here … that might add some spice to the issue, but in my case the real issues is related to the linux58-virtualbox-host-modules
This update literally removed ALL of my installed applications.
It started with a conflict between nvidia-390xx-utils and nvidia-450xx-utils.
As I only own an old GeForce 550 Ti, I have to stick with the 390 driver version, though.
Unfortunately, the only way to resolve this conflict was removing mhwd-nvidia-450xx. This, unfortunately, also removed my nvidia-390 driver as well, so I had to re-install it after the update.
Because there also was a new kernel version, I then rebooted.
After reboot, I got “Failed to start Light Display Manager” and no graphical desktop.
So I re-installed both xfce and LightDM, but then it complained about lightdm-slick-greeter missing as well. So I had to install that also.
After all that, I could get back to the desktop. Unfortunately, it turned out that ALL of my installed programs (Libre Office, Evolution, Double Commander and so on) were gone.
Now I am in the process of re-installing everything step-by-step. Fortunately, my user settings seem to have been preserved so for example, I have all my mailboxes back in Evolution without the need to re-configure.
Such a behavior on an update reminds me a bit of the Windows 10 horror stories. So please let me kindly ask you to abstain from reproducing such things on Linux even though Microsoft is the market leader and thus, must have done something right

You could delay update, removal, I am sure wouldn’t go without you noticing.
(I update with pacman, so dunno about GUI)
Probably vbox issue with Nvidia driver. Only driver can crash system.
Those craving for VirtualBox, consider trying qtemu-git (AUR) for a proper virtualization alternative without procrapietary VB modules 
Nice Qt interface, looks fine in Plasma DE:
And Gnomers have a “Gnome-way” single-button-powered gnome-boxes, which is even 1000 times simpler to use.

On my intel only laptop - vbox works fine with 5.8.6-1-MANJARO
Cool, but it’s better to use the official packages
Xfce ok + systemd 246 ok + virtualbox ok + kernel 5.8.6 ok + youtube(1080p) + Steam(OpenGl) ok
Wrt VBox and Linux 5.8, I dare to „add up 1+1“ and speculate. The problems of VB 6.1.12 with Kernel 5.8 AFAIK are down to the Linux developers’ quest for security (allocating memory to executable code). So I really hope that Manjaro patches to the kernel (cf. above, someone mentioned @philm patches) if there is s.th. in that direction will be removed when VB 6.1.14 arrives and works. Pls forgive me if I‘m wrong!

This is not the driver at all, this is a package required in MHWD…
Also use Timeshift dude, it is the basics to restore a failed update or user error (that I guess is the issue here).
But why was it conflicting with nvidia-390xx?
mhwd-nvidia-450xx wasn’t conflicting with your driver. It is a dependency of MHWD.
No issues here, manjaro-i3 with intel-nvidia hybrid graphics. Kernel 5.8, proprietary drivers Thanks manjaro team
