Everytime I turn on my PC I get this error
[FAILED] Failed to start Simple Desktop Display Manager. I just install majaro yesterday and the only thing I did was a system update and a kernel update to 5.9.10-1-MANJARO.

There is a bit of wonkyness going on with the latest version of sddm .You could also try to create the needed config file yourself.
It would normally be at /etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf and contains for me the following:

[Autologin]
Relogin=false
Session=plasma.desktop
User=*username*

[General]
HaltCommand=/usr/bin/systemctl poweroff
RebootCommand=/usr/bin/systemctl reboot

[Theme]
Current=breath

[Users]
MaximumUid=60000
MinimumUid=1000

Otherwise you could revert back to 18.1-3 for the time beeing until it is sorted out.
