Had a similar issue today with sddm after upgrading to latest nvidia driver 440.44
It never started the graphical interface even though sddm.service was not reporting error.
Got a login prompt with Alt-Ctrl-F2. Then I downgraded nvidia and nvidia-utils to 440.36 and it worked again after reboot.

Yep .The new nvidia driver 440.44 seems to be compiled for a new kernel (5.4.3).

Yeah, somehow the new nvidia-package expects kernel 5.4.3 which is no out yet, so modules are not found by mkinitcpio.
Scary!
But downgrading nvidia + nvidia-utils seems to help.

Same issue. Downgrading nvidia and nvidia-utils fixed it for me for the moment being.
sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/nvidia-utils-440.36-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz /var/cache/pacman/pkg/nvidia-440.36-5-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

The kernel has landed in core, wait for your mirrors to sync and update, please don't derail unrelated threads:

I was in the same situation as everyone else and had to revert both nvidia and nvidia-utils as a temporary fix.
Just updated to 5.4.3 and can confirm everything works fine for me now.

Yes it works for me now after upgrading both linux kernel and nvidia packages.
