If you use KDE you better logout of your session and do the update via Pacman or Pamac in tty.
Also I would, before the update:
* make a Timeshift snapshot if you ain’t got no recent one.
* ( export content of widgets like your radio stations in Advanced Radio Player or your Podcasts in Kasts or any podcatcher as a backup )
* make a fresh boot, but before that even:
* System Settings > Appearance > Global Theme > set to Breath and tick both options for defaults
* You might go to the hamburger menu in System Settings and look what changes you made away from default by selecting: Highlight Changed Settings and see if you want to make the effort to get back more defaults
* System Settings > Workspace > Startup and Shutdown: SDDM defaults and Desktop Session: Start with empty session
* disable all user-installed widgets that are still on your desktop, panels and even lock screen or wallpaper (e.g. Active Blur)
* Export your custom shortcuts or mouse gestures in SS> Workspace > Shortcuts
* Reboot, Timeshift snapshot, reboot
* then do not log in, do the update via tty (CTRL+ALT+F3, same with F2 gets you back)
* reboot, login, check through System Settings
* reboot again
* enjoy
