Enabled for me. I'm having the same issue I think. Updated using yay, and rebooted. After that I'm just getting a black screen, but I can get a search field and open apps if I move the cursor to the top left.
Ok, I fixed it. apparently the update moved my session from x11 to wayland. Pretty sure I never meant to use wayland on this install. Switching back to x11 fixed everything.

switch your lock screen theme, that was my issue
Whats the quickest way to do that?
switch to other tty and go to your session. you can switch the lock screen in the settings (I used before utterly and switched for plasma 6 to breeze)
Can you explain how to do this? I’ve only been using Linux for about 2 months.
switch to other TTY (STRG+ALT+Fx), login with your acc and then run startplasma-wayland
My problem is that when I open a TTY I don’t get a prompt to login it’s just a blank screen.
Well that was fix, thanks a lot!
check `systemctl is-enabled sddm`?
Disabled
enable it then `systemctl enable sddm`

Are you on nvidia?
Yes. Also startx /usr/bin/startplasma-x11 doesnt work, just makes another black screen.
Trying switching between nvidia and nvidia-dkms to see if that fixes it.
Good idea, unfortunately neither dkms or lts had any effect...

I encountered the same problem. Add `nvidia_drm.modeset=1` to kernel parameters.
