I am using Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 16ITH6 with rtx 3050 mobile nvidia gpu
Upgrading from 6.3.12 to 6.4.4 caused the nvidia driver (nvidia-powerd.service) failed in boot, and it still works fine when i having booted in 6.3.12, but it took a lot of time to boot (like 2 or 3 minute)
the “systemctl status nvidia-powerd.service” output, having booted into 6.4.4:

nvidia-smi output in 6.4.4:
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.
and i think this is maybe a bug and i report it on bugzilla
