terminal. Login there and run
sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade
that will check that everything is up to date. If you see any errors
then post them here.
If it does anything then go back to the login screen using
ctrl+alt+F7. Then reboot and try again.

If still no joy try logging in as the Guest user and see what happens.
