I can do it with native pacman and Pamac, but no matter how many times that I click reboot and update my system in Gnome Software, it reboots but never updates.

As a hint for troubleshooting this: 'PackageKit' is supposed to take care of distro-related package management. It has several configuration files...

Do you mean that there is something wrong with 'gnome-software-packagekit-plugin'
Offline
Personally I've never used GUI's for package management.
Could you please post the output of
pacman -Qs packagekit
?

I think you need this package:
https://archlinux.org/packages/?name=gnome-packagekit
It hasn't been updated in over a year though...
EDIT: This probably won't work on Gnome 40 and 'gnome-software' is required by 'gnome-software-packagekit-plugin' anyway...

Nope, it doesn't work.
It keeps asking me to reboot but does nothing makes me crazy.

'gnome-software-packagekit-plugin' has got a couple services - see
pacman -Ql gnome-software-packagekit-plugin | grep service
for further investigation...
EDIT: Also see
man gnome-software

It returns nothing.
By the way, is the gnome-packagekit needed?

No.
Did you have a look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman … #Graphical for (possibly unwanted) privilege elevation given that you've added your user to the wheel group?

Atm I don't have any other ideas except for checking pacman logs...
EDIT (umpteen's): Despite of risking a slap in the face, you could try to find out how arch-derivatives *cough*manjaro*cough* are implementing this

They upgrade their softwares via Pamac, they don't use Gnome Software either.

To be blunt - why do you want to use 'gnome-software' in the first place?

Just to experience the full Gnome Desktop.

That's incompatible with Arch. You *need* to see pacman's output. At least Pamac shows it...
I personally recommend using Gnome Software for Flatpak and LVFS only.

Packagekit integration with Arch is very rudimentary, you should not rely - and expect incompatibilities and breakages - when using these to update system/arch packages.

I have seen the error message:
GDBus.Error:org.gtk.GDBus.UnmappedGError.Quark._pk_2dengine_2derror-_2dquark.Code1:Prepared update not found: /var/lib/PackageKit/prepared-update
There are some bug reports about this bug, but that was 9 months ago, and it should have been fixed.
