From live boot it wont do anything when i click it.
I also did this:
- use the USB and from there chroot into your system
- run
sudo micro /etc/mkinitcpio.conf - add the module
vmdto the MODULES list - run
sudo mkinitcpio -Pto regenerate all initramfs - run
sudo micro /etc/default/grub - add
nvme_load=YEStoGRUB_CMDLINE_LINUXline - run
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfgto regenerate the GRUB menu - reboot
But still stuck on initial ramdisk

In general, for this type of issues, consider also:

I tried manythings mate. I have to use my laptop and stuck in this for two days. I used mint and ubuntu for years now but this is fraustrating. The design part if garuda is perfect but im going to loose hope on this
I tried snapshot it wont work. Chroot wont work. Reinstall with open source driver? Its laggy as hell and i should use nvidia driver. When i use nvidia driver stuck in loading initial ramdisk
I can understand your frustration, but I'm sure you know that moving to a rolling release this is something that should not be underestimated.
You have to factor in problems like that, which are absolutely not attributable to Garuda, but to the updates around it and what can happen as a result.
You have to get familiar with some of the procedures, and then the resulution of problems like this becomes a matter of minutes.
To indirectly attribute the term "unstable" to update issues is in my opinion insulting to those who work on it (devote their free time) and to the many who have been using Garuda successfully for a few years now.

Comeon mate tell me what should i do.
Start providing your garuda-inxi information from the live USB and let's see.

Maybe i dont used correct word but as you can see im trying to figure out problems mate. No disrespect.
There is an easy way to get garuda-inxi in text. Open up Garuda Assistant > system specs > copy for forum 
It automatically includes the proper formatting so you can pop it straight in here.

Have you tried switching to or most likely booting to a TTY, then garuda-update again (just in case of problems in the first update), then (maybe try startx or more likely) try a
sudo dkms autoinstall
Also, if chrooting was not working with the Garuda Welcome button, you could try this manual procedure, so that we can check the error messages.

Please install the linux-headers-6.0.2-zen1-1-zen package or use the --kernelsourcedir option to tell DKMS whe

First thing I’d try due to this:
is
sudo pacman -S linux-zen-headers
Then reboot.
That error on garuda-chroot is very strange (never ever happened before), that script is in the system since ages.
