After the most recent update, I noticed that Tuxedo Control Center and modules are no longer working properly.
I was able to control LED Keyboard Backlight, fan speed, CPU and GPU temp monitoring, among other things.
I also noticed that AUR has a slightly more recent version of the Tuxedo drivers DKMS.
I don’t want to try that one, because it will most certainly bork something by the next update. Perhaps somebody has a temporary fix, or does the repo have to be updated.
Any insight on this issue would be most appreciated.
Umm… Your post could use two clarifications at least for me:
Result of inxi -zv8
I’m unclear about the meaning of the quote below. Do you mean you were able to do this before it broke, or you were able to do ONLY this after it broke but was able to do more before that?

I cannot reproduce your issue. Tuxedo Control Center relies on kernel modules, so it is important that you restart your system after a change to kernel and kernel headers.
Not sure why you say that, the package in Manjaro repo is based on dkms too.
I have Tuxedo which work perfect with or without the Control Center.
With I get a GUI with some more options - including the option to not charge to 100% capacity.
It looks to me like Manjaro has the latest version available in the repo compared to AUR.

Previously, the control center used to take advantage of full features, making it easier to change LED multi color layout on the keyboard and able to monitor all temps and control the fans. After the update, the fan speeds are greyed out and the keyboard LED customize section doesn’t show anything, anymore.
While reboots after updates go without saying, doesn’t hurt to say.
Since the AUR is only an internal package change, perhaps trying another kernel will resolve my issue.
With current updates, I can control single color changes, brightness and on & off. Not with control center, but with the FN key and the keyboard.
I will post inxi output once I gain access to my laptop.
Also, the keyboard LED used to shut off with the display. (Set to display off after 30 min in Plasma power management)
Now, display turns off after 30 min, LED keyboard stays on.
If there is anything that would help on my end, let me know.
The Tuxedo Control Center - is a vendor specific application used by Tuxedo Computers
I know that Tuxedo uses barebones from various vendors like Schneider and Clevo. I did a search for P95_96_97Ex,Rx but it yield no immediately usable information.
I suggest you contact Tuxedo Support - because they are your system vendor and the provider of the software - they will know about issues specific to your system or changes made which would affect your system.
Another suggestion is to check if the issue is present when using Tuxedo OS
A third option is to build a custom kernel. This can be done using the Manjaro kernel PKGBUILD as base and - if following below recipe - it will co-exist with any Manjaro kernel. Pay attention to Nvidia drivers as your screenshot seems to indicate a dGPU present on your system.
