HUGE PROBLEM: Windows 11 booting to black screen with cursor

I have a Dell Vostro with a 8th gen i7 and a Geforce MX130 and ever since I installed Windows 11 insider build I have come across issues. One HUGE one being that when I try to turn on my PC to log into windows, the log in screen shows as just black. I press enter... nothing. I try CRL+ALT+DEL... nothing. Just a black screen with a cursor.

 

Only the projection and accessibility settings work (proving that I am stuck on the log in screen), but those do not help.

 

I had to reset my PC MUTIPLE times just to log in so I could at least backup. Not sure what is happening. I cannot even revert back to windows 10 (have to use USB).

 

Please help.

    Hello everyone. Update on this problem: so I fixed it first by resetting my pc (keeping all files) TWICE. Then after a few successful boots, another update broke it again. To be safe, I booted into Safe Mode and did a backup. Finally, I reset PC again, booted into windows, uninstalled update, uninstalled some graphics driver, and downloaded then directly from NVIDIA website. I think it was a display problem, some compatibility issues maybe? Let me know how it went for y'all.
