Installs fine then after upgrade frozen Gnome

Hi everyone.
Seems there are similar issues with Gnome. But latest Manjaro works fine.
After installing on my laptop everything works as expected but the installer does an upgrade which results in a frozen desktop. With a bit of luck I can open the terminal which then works. Hitting the super key also works a bit . . . .

I have the same problem with CachyOS so its probably an ARCH problem.

Any ideas / or should I wait for a while ?

Is there anything suspicious in journalctl output?

So I gave it an update today and voila!
Desktop is working again.

Unfortunately some Gnome Apps with problems are not fixed:

Pamac Gui !
Firmware
Files
Calculater

They all have a skeleton gui with no background. Everything flashes and overlays itself.

Dolphin works well as a replacement for ‘Files’

Hope the Devs see this.
