If you rebooted before the update was complete, you should complete it. Partial updates can create some unexpected breakage.
If it had only downloaded for a little while, I would have just let it go. But this is bloat.
O.K. I started another update. I guess I let it run into the night. What a pain.
I assume no one here can see what you type in the terminal, what you install, update or build in the process.
In order for anyone being able to offer help, you would need to give us some relevant info. For example the command you run and the terminal output.

That’s the problem… Unlike on my other machines without the Nvidia card, where I can copy the output from the terminal, that literally fails here. I DID try.
The command was ‘paru’. That’s all.
Best I could do, screen shot. I know that’s bad form.
Just remove the electron packages, then update, then reboot.
What does
pacman -Q | grep electron
say?
Edit: correcting command line
it came back with ‘no operation specified’.
Direct copy and paste of your command into the terminal.
Sorry, my bad:
pacman -Q | grep electron

So we are still at the square one 
You said:
and marked your own post as solution.
If not, remove it.

sudo pacman -R electron25 electron28 electron29
Then update, if the above command complains, add the name to the command and try again:
sudo pacman -R electron25 electron28 electron29 <next-package-name>
Nothing important uses electron.

Yeah, did that. Geogebra used the electron28 I believe. I can get rid of that too.
Run the commands given by @xircon and mark their post as solution!
Should it be ‘sudo pacman -R geogebra electron25 electron28 electron29’
Should it be -R or -Rns?
-R is safer, but -Rns is probably ok (as it is electron).
