Weird issue where Cinnamon won’t start properly after doing an update and reboot of Linux Mint 21.3 (sopuli.xyz)

After I started up my computer, having updated the last time I used it, going past the log in screen just shows the desktop background for a little bit, before a black screen with just a cursor. The Lock Screen still works if I shut the laptop lid or leave the computer enough, but the screen doesn’t seem to turn off properly when shutting the lid and most keyboard shortcuts don’t work, though I can still go to tty.

I tried updating. I tried reinstalling Cinnamon. That didn’t work, but installed lxde and selecting that at login worked, but Cinnamon still doesn’t.

I eventually found out that right clicking the black screen Cinnamon desktop still works, and I can get windows such as the terminal like that, but the windows won’t move or resize.

Probably just going to do a new install.
