optimus with bbswitch doesn't work after updated

Hello, I updated my archlinux recently. However, I found optimus with bbswitch didn't work and I couldn't convert to use nvidia gpu. How to deal with it, can I directly uninstall optimus with Pacman –Rs?

What is "optimus"?
optimus-mananger? bumblebee?

The system will default to prime, but optimus-manager and bumblebee might leave behind some stale config files.
In doubt post system journal and xorg log after removing "optimus"
