There is no "manual" update process. You can use the semi-automated Upload and Update method through Joomla Update, you should see a field to choose the upload package (the zip file downloaded from downloads.joomla.org).
Simply uploading the files by FTP misses the database update step of the update process and that will break your site.
I've seen other posts on the forum concerning J2XML failing to import to J5 (even though its JED listing states it should work in J5).
You said you used "live update", by which I assume you mean Joomla Update and not a third-party update service like Softaculous or similar.
There's a GitHub thread that discusses the problem ('database structure not up to date' ) from 2021 (https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/issues/35915). One suggestion mentioned is to reinstall the core system files of the current Joomla version you're running (i.e. in Joomla Update, you should see a "Reinstall Core Files" (orange button). The update channel needs to be set to "Default" for that to work (rather than Joomla Next.
The other way you might achieve that is Upload and Update, and install the download package for the current version of Joomla you're using.
