[SOLVED] GUI does not start after updating NVIDIA driver

After updating the NVIDIA package to 455.45, the display manager will not start.
This is resolved by downgrading the package to 455.23.
I usually use the linux-zen driver, but I've had similar issues with linux-lts and linux.
Currently, it is specified as IgnorePkg in pacman.conf.
My video card is GTX 1050 Ti.
There is a security problem if you do not update the driver.
Also, DaVinci Resolve will not start (probably due to an older driver).
How do I use the latest NVIDIA driver?


I practiced the content of this wiki and it didn't change.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NV … tarts_fine

Below are some of the results of running lspci -v on 455.23.

Great.
Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
