NVIDIA driver not loading correctly

Hi everyone.
I was using the NVIDIA driver version 470.57.02, downloaded from the NVIDIA website, and everything was working fine. Two days ago I performed a full system upgrade. Pacman also installed the NVIDIA driver 510.68.02-2, because I forgot to blacklist it. I had to rollback it since my GPU doesn't support it. So I reinstalled back the latest version supported (470.103.01). But now, each time I turn on the PC, it gets stuck on "[OK] Reached Graphical Interface". Found out that if I login into a tty and install again the driver, it automatically starts correctly after that, showing the Plasma login screen. Of course, rebooting restores the problem. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks in advance

Re: NVIDIA driver not loading correctly

generally remove the driver from the website and install https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidia-470xx-dkms instead

Xorg starts properly but the error you get is because optimus-manager crashes, there's no indication of a different/secondary GPU, why is optimus-manager installed?
