Latest update with kernel broke nvidia

And again, the RPMFusions nvidia drivers worked fine on the same rig before the 6.9.5 kernel upgrade.

rpm fusion repo all was working as should with secure boot etc and after update it is dead

I have 2 different machines. Both are f40 and were updated to the 6.9.5 kernel. The updates were done using dnf and allowing plenty time between the kernel update and the reboot to the new kernel.

Both are working well.
My laptop has the 550.90.07 driver from rpmfusion
My desktop has the 555.52.04 from rpmfusion with using --releasever=41 since that version is in testing for rawhide at present.

I don’t know how you performed the updates but you may be a victim of the issue which has a solution here.

Third-party modules (e.g. Nvidia) are not rebuilt during system upgrade

Problem If you use a third-party kernel module (the most common is the Nvidia closed driver, but this might also apply to some wireless card drivers, VirtualBox, etc), it won’t be rebuilt during a system upgrade to a newer Fedora version. That means your kernel module (and the affected hardware) might not work directly after the system upgrade. In case of Nvidia, that might mean using a slow fallback graphical driver, or even failing to boot to a graphical environment at all. Note: This proble…

It seems that frequently when using the gui (gnome software) to do updates, the reboot may occur too quickly after the upgrade completes and the driver may not be properly and completely built before that reboot so it fails. The same seems to occur at times when doing the update with dnf using the --offline option.
